Oh, so now we have good clients and bad clients.You are not really paying zero, the fees they make are hidden.and another one called progress. That's how we went from stock market transaction fees of maybe $35 (~1995 dollars to be sure) to $0 now.There is this thing called inflation.
Vanguard is not improving their service offering; arguably they have made it substantially worse.
No need for them to increase fees.
As far as I am concerned they are making service substantially better, by getting rid of bad clients who use too much service and pay too little.
The email I got listed a bunch of fees that don't affect MOST clients. Why should clients with edge case needs or worse clients who are leaving, get any benefit of cost cutting ? The clients who STAY should get the benefit of cost cutting and technology investment.
