I have been researching posts about hidden fees from Edward Jones. I met with my advisor and asked for a summary of cost report and other things. He said he would get that report to me. He said our Guided solution flex funds that include a traditional IRA and Joint Tenants With Right of Survivorship are wiped from all front and back load fees. On average, in the last 10 years, one made 5.5% and the other 7%. I specifically asked about fees Edward Jones might have in buying or selling, I had the fee schedules printed out and pointed to several things. He still said that our accounts specifically did not include these fees. They are not stock accounts but mutual funds and bonds. On average, in the last 10 years, one made 5.5% and the other 7%. Not that great of a return. How can I verify that there truly are no additional fees? He is a friend and gives us a 20% discount on the annual fee.
