Frequently asked questions

How is an investment fee calculated?

Multiply the portfolio value by the annual fee rate, often called the expense ratio. A 0.5% fee on $100,000 is $500 a year.

Why do small fees matter?

Fees are charged every year and compound against your returns. Even a fraction of a percent can cost tens of thousands over decades, so the rate is worth checking.
