The expense ratio is deducted in tiny daily slices from ETHO'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 ETHO cost more than a fund like VOO? ETHO is a passive index fund (current expense ratio 0.45%). Differences from broad-market ETFs like VOO usually come from index licensing fees, asset class (bond funds typically run cheaper than equity), or fund scale (smaller funds spread fixed operating costs across less AUM). ### Are there cheaper alternatives to ETHO? The Lower-Fee Alternatives card above lists ETFs following the same investment strategy as ETHO (0.45%) but at a lower expense ratio. 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.
