Investment fees are easy to ignore. The expense ratio on a mutual fund or an advisor's fee comes out of your investments. They don't send you a bill. Yet even a 1% fee can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, or more, over a lifetime. In this video we walk through just how destructive even small fees can be to your wealth. Then we look at whether high fees generate better returns (they don't). Next we'll cover how to determine the expense ratio of a mutual fund. And finally, I show you a free tool you can use to analyze the expenses of your investments.
