We talk a lot about fees at the Blue Ocean Portfolios blog. However, most investors still have no idea what the true fees and expenses associated with their investments are.
In an effort to educate investors and help them make more informed investment decisions, we're starting a series of blog posts we're calling "Focus on Fees." We'll examine some fees and expenses many of you may be familiar with such as expense ratios. We'll also examine some that you may have never heard of before like M&E and wrap fees.
We do not recommend making investment decisions solely on the basis of fees and expenses. There are many factors that you should take into account when building your portfolio (or working with an advisor to do so).
However, fees do matter. And they are arguably the one aspect of your investments that you have the most control over. We hope this series will educate and enlighten so that you can make the most informed investment decisions and make the most of your money.
