Frequently asked questions
Why do fees matter so much over time?
Fees reduce the return that stays invested, and that smaller base compounds year after year. Over long horizons the gap can become significant.
Can a 1 percent fee really make a large difference?
Yes. Over long periods, even a seemingly small fee difference can reduce the ending portfolio value by a meaningful amount.
Should I choose the lowest fee automatically?
Not necessarily. Fees are only one factor. Service, diversification, taxes, advice quality, and portfolio fit also matter.
