Fees: what the expense ratio costs you

GSOL charges 0.19% and VSOL charges 0.30% a year. On a $10,000 position that is $19 versus $30 per year, taken out of the fund's assets daily rather than billed to you. Over five years the gap compounds to roughly $55 per $10,000 in GSOL's favour, before any return.

Size and liquidity
