The fee structure of ETF includes transaction fee and management fee. Transaction expenses mainly include transaction expenses and transaction tax expenses, and management expenses are the fund management expenses of ETF management companies.
First of all, transaction cost refers to the transaction cost that needs to be paid when buying and selling ETFs. These fees are usually collected by brokers, including commission, transaction tax and stamp duty. The amount of these fees depends on the scale of the transaction, the broker's fee standard and the regulations of the exchange. Generally speaking, commission is the largest component of expenses, usually ranging from 0. 1% to 1%. Transaction tax and stamp duty are collected by the government, usually 0. 1% to 0.5% of the total transaction amount.
Secondly, the management fee is the management fee given to the fund by the ETF management company. These expenses usually include management fees and other expenses, such as audit fees and attorney fees. Management fee is the fee charged by ETF management company to manage ETF, which is usually a certain proportion of ETF assets, usually 0. 1% to 1%. Other expenses are the fees charged by ETF management companies for providing other services for ETFs, including audit fees and attorney fees.
