Greetings,
I am looking to retire in a couple years and currently have about $800k scattered among a government Thrift Savings Account, a couple IRA's, an ING account, USAA Roth account, etc. I want to consolidate to a single plan and am looking at the Vanguard VPAS. They advertise a low .3% flat rate fee to manage the account (low compared to their .7% plan).
Anyone out there have experience using this service?
I am a little worried about the hidden costs of fund sales and purchase transaction fees when they do the periodic re-balance of the account.
Also, the plan defaults to purchasing only Vanguard Funds. Is this a smart idea?
Thanks,
Chuck
