How to get the most out of your mutual fund investment?

The expense ratio is a critical factor in determining whether or not a mutual fund will be successful for investors.

The expense ratio is the percentage of a mutual fund’s assets that are used for management and other expenses such as marketing, administration, and custodial fees.

The expense ratio measures how much of your investment is being used to cover the cost of managing the fund. 


It reflects the percentage of assets taken out as fees each year, and this amount can vary greatly depending on the type of fund.

To calculate expense ratio, divide the total operating expenses of a mutual fund by its total assets and multiply the result by 100.

A higher expense ratio means that there will be less money available to generate returns.


Investors can minimize the impact of the expense ratio by investing for the long term.

By understanding how the expense ratio works,investors can make more informed decisions about their investments.
