Frequently Asked Questions
Why do small fees matter?
Even small annual expense ratios compound over time, potentially reducing final corpus by a significant amount.
Should I always pick the lowest fee ETF?
Fees matter, but track record, tracking error, liquidity, and tax treatment are also important factors.
Is fee drag linear?
No, fee drag compounds. Longer holding periods magnify the difference.
