Fund Fees Continue to Compress Across Core Categories
Fund investors focused on Fund fees as expense ratios, share classes and advisor economics shaped allocation decisions.
Fee competition remains intense in passive products, and active managers are under pressure to justify their expense ratios. The result is a market where scale and distribution matter as much as performance.
Lower fees are unambiguously good for long-term investors, but they do not guarantee better net returns.
The main risk is further fee cuts that pressure smaller managers. Investors should watch expense ratios, asset growth and share-class changes in the sessions ahead.
