### How much will DWM's expense ratio cost me over 30 years?

### How does DWM charge its expense ratio?

The expense ratio is deducted in tiny daily slices from DWM'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 DWM cost more than a fund like VOO?

DWM's strategy (current expense ratio 0.48%) 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 DWM sits within its own category, which is the comparison that actually matters.
