another way to pay .25%
I think that few on this forum want to pay someone else to do what they can easily do with ETF's or index funds, re-balancing periodically, or some version of the couch potato strategies.
But for those who want or need more hand-holding, here's yet another way to do that: https://www.wealthfront.com/
They use all Vanguard ETF's and, based on their measurement of your risk tolerance (for fun I took their quiz and it was pretty accurate of what I'd want to do), will invest in a package of ETF's and re-balance for you periodically (according to formulas about how far away from your target the funds get, not according to time--i.e. annually).
Frankly, if I was unable to do this myself, I'd see this as a better use of the .25% than Fisher, who invests in individual stocks. And I have some family members who are unlikely to be able (or want to) to handle their funds themselves, so it might be a good solution for them.
