DGRS's strategy (current expense ratio 0.38%) 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 DGRS sits within its own category, which is the comparison that actually matters. ### Are there cheaper alternatives to DGRS?
