My average client has less than $75,000 in assets. I can not serve small clients without 12b-1 service fees, and a fee based account will cost them too much. If we want the average investor to receive honest advice without forcing a broker to churn to generate commission so the broker can survive, we must keep and really MUST INCREASE 12b-1 service fees. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
