What the fee actually costs
An expense ratio of 0.04% works out to about $40.00 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 11.80% gross return, that leaves roughly 11.76% net of fund costs before tax and before any platform or brokerage charges.
