(Redirected from Expense Ratio). The expense ratio of a stock or asset fund is the total percentage of fund assets used for administrative, management, advertising (12b-1), and all other expenses. An expense ratio of 1% per annum means that each year 1% of the fund's total assets will be used to cover expenses. The expense ratio does not include sales loads or brokerage commissions. Expense ratios are important to consider when choosing a fund, as they can significantly affect returns.
Smaller fees equal more money in your pocket. Sometimes you need to pay more for a higher level of service, but not in index-based products. In a mutual fund's prospectus, after the load disclosure is a section called Annual Fund Operating Expenses.. This is better known as the expense ratio. It's the percentage of assets paid to run the fund. Many costs are included in the expense ratio, but typically only three are broken out: the management fee, the 12b-1 distribution fee, and other expenses. And, it's not that easy to find out what fees are contained in the other expenses category. The size of the expense ratio determines how much money the investor ends up with. ETFs avoid many of these fees because the fund usually doesn't buy or sell the stock held in its portfolio.
