Your Mutual-Fund And ETF Fees Might Still Vary More Than They Should

FYI: Marianne Swenson, a Boston-based labor lawyer, had done her research; she knew that the less she paid in fees for the mutual funds in her 401(k) portfolio, the more money she’d have to grow in her nest egg over the years. And she knew that there were plenty of S&P 500 index funds—a key ingredient in the portfolios of many fee-conscious investors—charging less than 0.10% a year.

Why then, Ms. Swenson wondered, was she paying 0.61% of assets annually for her S&P 500 index fund, the only one offered by her 401(k) plan?
