The Complete Portfolio Fee Audit

Identify and compare the costs within a portfolio

The guide introduces management, transaction, administrative, sales-load, and distribution charges, then explains an audit process. Comparison sections examine fund costs, equivalent investment approaches, and account structures. Examples illustrate how different fee assumptions can affect hypothetical long-term outcomes, while later steps organize potential changes for further evaluation.

The focus is on understanding and documenting costs so they can be considered alongside investment objectives and other implications.
