On a $10,000 investment compounding at 7% gross return, a 0.35% expense ratio quietly compounds against your balance every year. The Fee Compounding Forecast card above projects the dollar drag for any holding period and assumption you pick. 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 FDIV charge its expense ratio? The expense ratio is deducted in tiny daily slices from FDIV'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 FDIV cost more than a fund like VOO? FDIV is actively managed (current expense ratio 0.35%). Active funds charge more than passive index trackers in exchange for the manager's discretion to over- or under-weight positions. The Cost Verdict card above tells you whether FDIV's fee is competitive for the active-management cohort. ### Are there cheaper alternatives to FDIV? The Lower-Fee Alternatives card above lists ETFs following the same investment strategy as FDIV (0.35%) 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.
