Most brokers will try to sell you stuff they make the most money on or they are so conservative you won’t make any money. 1-1.5% is very high for their annual fee, plus if they get you into funds, you will have to pay more fees.
Learn to do it yourself. Why would you trust some stranger with your money is beyond me. Your business model for your portfolio is to make the most money in my investments. Your brokers business model is to make the most money off of you. Most people who use brokers think they are doing good in the market without ever checking to see how they are actually doing.
