Duh. Obviously, if you pay AUM fees, you will have less money unless the advisor can make up the difference with more successful investments than you could make on your own. I have never paid any AUM fees, but every investor needs to assess the value of paying an advisor. Apparently, the OP's calculations assume that the advisor has zero value.
