Anyone use Smith Barney for IRA’s?

[Nachoman]

I had a previous job’s 401k that I rolled into an IRA and I had a friend who works at Smith Barney do it for me. Now I’m realizing that there’s a lot of fees to use SB. His explanation was that those are fees for SB to manage the funds that my IRA is in. Do you see these kind of fees if you use an IRA through someone like Fidelity or Vanguard? Is it worth keeping the IRA at SB for whatever “management” they do for those funds? Is it easy to jump from SB to Fidelity? Thanks in advance for the advice.

Vanguard it. SSB is the suck. The only thing 401k fund managers manage, is managing how to suck more fees out of you.

Be careful about moving. There is usually an exit fee of a couple of hundred dollars if you switch.

If you elect to switch see if the new company will cover that exit fee for you.

I like Fidelity and Schwab.

Ditto: go with Vanguard. I had some funds with SB and when I decided to remove them, it took me multiple meetings with mutiple NO’s to get them to execute the transfer — months of time and stress in all. Their funds all carried very high fees. Was glad to be rid of them.
