Your investing questions, our clear answers.

Our response:

We are not able to provide any official values of what average fees are for investors. Fees depend on a number of factors including services provided, and total dollar value of a portfolio. We encourage investors to shop around and ask questions to understand the services offered and fees charged.

Note that service fees do not necessarily include fees such as management expense ratios on mutual funds and ETFs, and fees do not indicate whether your investments will do well.
