So the professional allocation underperformed my throw it in small/mid/large cap index funds and forget it strategy by 2% ?

Sure, if you want to compare apples to oranges.  Unless your index funds are diversifying outside the market for you?  Don't forget the tax shelters, we can compare our financial dicks and net after tax bills when we retire   

I guess I should separate the mutual funds and market-only stuff so we are comparing same/ same but I was just legitimately curious how they've performed for you.  I'm going under the assumption that those are literally the only investment vehicle some of you guys are using outside of maybe a company sponsored retirement plan.  Putting all of your eggs into the market is too risky even for me. 

Also, is the robo account selling for you whenever it chooses?  If so, how are you managing the reallocations and tax bills?
Do you know the fees each of the new funds charge when you're getting bought into them or do you just trust the machine? I wasn't trying to be snarky, just legitimately curious.
