The Trend of Falling ETF Fees

ETF fees have been consistently decreasing over the past decade, with some ETFs now charging nearly zero fees. This fee reduction trend, described as the 'great cost migration,' significantly benefits investors, as entrenched competition among providers has driven prices down to rock-bottom levels. For instance, an ETF with a fee of 3 basis points costs a mere $3 annually for a $10,000 investment, which shows the extreme affordability that has become the norm in the market. As fee pressures continue, savvy investors can expect to see even greater savings and enhanced returns from their investments.
