The efficiency ratio indicates the expenses as a percentage of revenue, with a few variations â it is essentially how much a corporation or individual spends to make a dollar; entities are supposed to attempt minimizing efficiency ratios. The concept typically applies to banks. It relates to operating leverage, which measures the ratio between fixed costs and variable costs.
The nifty thing about the expense ratio is that it wraps all these various costs and expenses into one number so that you don't have to do a lot of math. Currently the typical expense ratio for an actively managed mutual fund is about 1.5%, and that number has been going up lately. With an expense ratio of 1.5%, a mutual fund is cutting itself in on 1.5% of the total money in the fund every year. That's whether there's a good year or a bad year for the fund.
