There's no "fee day" to avoid; the cost is continuous and built into the trading price. ### Why does STK cost more than a fund like VOO? STK is actively managed (current expense ratio 1.12%). 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 STK's fee is competitive for the active-management cohort. ### Are there cheaper alternatives to STK?
