My husband has a rollover IRA and is being charged annual administrative fees of 1.94%. Is this too much?

2Fidelity and Vanguard have 0% fees. What are you getting for the 1.94%? – Pete B. Nov 14 '16 at 15:26

Think about 1.94% in terms of how much of the gain in the IRA is being lost just to fees. If the return it provides is 6% (as an example), that means you're giving up almost a third of your gains for essentially nothing. I'd search for a different manager, such as Fidelity or Vanguard, as @Pete suggests. Not all of them charge fees. – Daniel Anderson Nov 14 '16 at 16:07

what type of funds is the IRA invested in? Active? Index? sector?... – mhoran_psprep Nov 14 '16 at 16:08

31.94% should be criminal. – Joe Nov 14 '16 at 16:26

? No idea what this means. $70,000 that is proposed to be put in a multiple strategy ACCount, Profile 3, Moderate. If we do not make a move we will run out of retirement income. 60% in Core Markets, 40% in Diversifying strategies-Bonds and bond alternative. WE put our faith in Invest Financial Corportation, Syracuse, NY and thought they were looking out for us. – B george Nov 15 '16 at 22:43
I found a large US company that provides this service that has a $20 annual fee, but only if the account is less that $10,000. Above that there is no fee. There are other large asset managers that have similar fee structures. A 1.94% fee is borderline criminal in my estimation.
