OAEM's strategy (current expense ratio 1.22%) 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 OAEM sits within its own category, which is the comparison that actually matters. ### Are there cheaper alternatives to OAEM? The Lower-Fee Alternatives card above lists ETFs following the same investment strategy as OAEM (1.22%) but at a lower expense ratio.
