    I like your commentary, but is there no way to find out the expense ratio? I really think you would be doing everyone a great service if you just added, or asked the sponsors to disclose the ETF’s expense ratio up front.
    Thanks,

  2. Tom Lydon Says:

    Jim,
    The expense ratio for each of these new ETFs is 0.13%. We try to mention the expense ratio when talking about new ETFs. The ETF providers also offer the expense ratios on their website. Other services, such as Morningstar, also provide this information. Hope this helps.
    Best, Tom
