Active funds typically charge higher expense ratios than index funds (PEO's is 0.62%) in exchange for the discretion to over- or under-weight positions. ### When was PEO launched?

On a $10,000 investment compounding at 7% gross return, a 0.62% 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 expense ratio is deducted in tiny daily slices from PEO'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 PEO cost more than a fund like VOO? PEO is actively managed (current expense ratio 0.62%). 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 PEO's fee is competitive for the active-management cohort. ### Are there cheaper alternatives to PEO? The Lower-Fee Alternatives card above lists closed-end funds following the same investment strategy as PEO (0.62%) but at a lower expense ratio.
