'Zero Fee' ETFs (SFY, SFYX) Filed
25 Feb 2019
“Largest players have aggressively lowered the expense ratios. Today there are 13 ETFs
that charge 0.04% and another five that charge just 0.03% offered by Vanguard,
BlackRock, State Street, Schwab and Invesco.”
“These 17 ultra-low-cost ETFs brought in $69 billion in new assets in 2018, or 22% of
the industry‘s total $315 billion net inflows for 2018. Fidelity Investments took the fee
war to a new level by launching the first zero-fee mutual funds - zero management
fees and no other expenses, making their total operating expense zero in perpetuity.”
“The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its unified management fee for the
SoFi 500 ETF and SoFi Next 500 ETF until at least March 27, 2020.”
