On a $10,000 investment compounding at 7% gross return, a 0.18% expense ratio quietly compounds against your balance every year.

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 IJT? The Lower-Fee Alternatives card above lists ETFs following the same investment strategy as IJT (0.18%) 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.
