Cardiac rhythms arising from the atrioventricular (AV) junction occur as an automatic tachycardia or as an escape mechanism during periods of significant bradycardia with rates slower than the intrinsic junctional pacemaker.
One recent private study analyzed 340 passive and index investment advisors handling 23,000 portfolios with an average account size of $835K. This study showed that average advisor fees were 0.65% (65 basis points) on assets under management.
Example. For a new investor (with an account value of $100,000 or less) the fees for the first year are $225 (this is due when the account is opened) and $175 each following year. For a small investment, this can represent excessive carrying costs.
