Why am I paying 1% on fees when I could buy ETFs and pay .1%? A lot of fat in these super funds. Since the merge, my fees haven’t changed and my insurance has not either. Cut the costs further, pick up the phone and call the insurance company and “get a better deal”

[@TanksBradley-bf8nt]

Low performance and low returns due to High admins costs and fees. ART CEO looks too roly-poly on the panel.
