i quickly looked at vanguard wellington fund and windsor fund to see what they pay to answer your question as i do not think 7% return is unreasonable and these financial advisors are way too conservative in their estimates for returns. wellington fund return since inception 1929, 8.36% last ten years 9.88,last 5 years, 7.51,last three years 15.18 and 1yr, 10.60% windsor fund since inception 1984 12.84% ten years 10.44%. five years 7.07%, 3 yrs, 21.22% one year 10.48% these are low rate mutual funds and i am sure there are many more around that return 7% overall vs 5% and not jumping into one sector like oil which will give higher risk. ps if i listened to money managers i would never have retired eleven years ago. i also manage my own money, use discount brokers and do not hold any funds or trusts, rather i build my own. You also got to watch out for fee paid advisors who can quickly take a lot of your savings right off the top with fee based funds etc. If you are not interested in investing then places like vanguard funds are alternatives.
