자주 묻는 질문

How do investment fees compound?

Fees reduce your gains, which then reduces your future compounding. Over time, this "lost return on lost return" effect compounds against you significantly.

What is a reasonable expense ratio?

Index funds average 0.05–0.20%, while active funds average 0.5–1.5%. Even 0.5% difference can mean hundreds of thousands of dollars over a career.

Are all fees clearly disclosed?

No. Beyond expense ratios, watch for advisory fees, transaction costs, bid–ask spreads, and trading costs. Always review the prospectus or fee schedule.
