The Power of Low Costs

What is Expense Ratio?

Expense ratio is the annual fee charged by mutual funds to cover management, administrative, and operational costs. It's expressed as a percentage of your investment.

Index vs Active Funds

Index funds typically have expense ratios of 0.1%-0.5%, while actively managed funds can charge 1%-2.5%. Over 20+ years, this difference can erode a significant portion of your wealth.
