The typical result for a 1.0% expense ratio on a 30-year hold is roughly 25% of the final balance lost to fees. ### How does BOE charge its expense ratio? The expense ratio is deducted in tiny daily slices from BOE's net asset value (NAV). You never see a bill. The price quoted on every exchange is already net of fees. There's no "fee day" to avoid; the cost is continuous and built into the trading price. ### Why does BOE cost more than a fund like VOO? BOE's strategy (current expense ratio 1.21%) is different from a broad-market index tracker like VOO, so its fee belongs to a different cohort. The Cost Verdict card above shows you where BOE sits within its own category, which is the comparison that actually matters. ### Are there cheaper alternatives to BOE?

Each row shows the fee gap, the peer's AUM as a liquidity sanity-check, and a direct link to that fund's analysis page. Cheaper price doesn't automatically mean better.
