In 2008 am determined to get more serious about asset allocation and have created portfolio in Morningstar Portfolio X-ray - seems like an excellent tool. My overall expense ratio is .76% currently - approx half of what they say a "similarly weighted porfolio" might be. While that feels OK - wanted to get your folks opinion. Is .76% good or still too high?
On another note, please clarify for me what the Total Expenses are for the fund below. Is it .61% ? Or is it .61% plus .38%? Please ignore the % "after reductions" for now.
Thanks as always.
Expenses & FeesFees Management Fee0.38%
Expenses & Fees Expense Ratio as of 09/30/2007 0.61%
Expense Ratio after Reductions as of 07/31/2007 0.60%
For a mutual fund, the expense ratio is the total annual fund or class operating expenses (before waivers or reimbursements) paid by the fund and stated as a percent of the fund's total net assets. Where the investment option is not a mutual fund, the figure displayed in the expense ratio field is intended to reflect similar information. However, it may have been calculated using methodologies that differ from those used for mutual funds. Mutual fund data has been drawn from the most recent prospectus. For non-mutual fund investment options, the information has been provided by the trustee or plan sponsor. When no ratio is shown for these options it is due to the fact that none was available. Nevertheless, there may be fees and expenses associated with the investment option.
