What the fee actually costs
An expense ratio of 0.10% works out to about $100.00 a year on a $100,000.00 position. It is deducted from fund assets, so you never see an invoice — but it compounds against you every year you hold.
Against a reported 12.80% gross return, that leaves roughly 12.70% net of fund costs before tax and before any platform or brokerage charges.
