Keep in mind one thing that almost everybody here accepts as an axiom: 
Past performance is no guarantee of future success! So your advisor's 
performance over the last 9 years is no guarantee of similar 
performance over the next 9 years.

Personally I would pay somebody 1% to manage my finances when hell 
freezes over.
