An expense ratio is the percentage of an investment fund's assets charged annually to cover its operating expenses.
- How it is used
- Frames fund fees as a recurring input to ETF selection and robo-portfolio cost analysis.
- How deep it goes
- Defines daily fee deduction and models holding cost, while stopping short of detailed fee forecasting for uncertain holding periods.
- Examples
- Uses QQQ pricing details and compares SPY, IVV, VOO, and SPLG using expense ratios, spreads, and total costs.
- What you can do after
- Evaluate ETF ownership costs by combining expected holding fees with trading costs in a quantitative comparison.
