Why does the State's 529 Plan have such high fees--significantly higher than ETF alternatives, and higher than most mutual funds with similar objectives.  Is there a marketing fee in it to attract investors?  If so, why should those participating pay to attract those not participating.  Given the terrible losses incurred over the last few years, it seems a decent return without excessive fees would be the best marketing.
