The expense ratio is deducted in tiny daily slices from RIET'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 RIET cost more than a fund like VOO? RIET's strategy (current expense ratio 0.50%) is different from a broad-market index tracker like VOO, so its fee belongs to a different cohort.
