Fees: What we pay and what we NEVER will...

Equity Mates Media
About this episode

At Equity Mates we hate fees! Sometimes at surface level they don’t seem like a lot. But the fact is, over a lifetime of investing, fees can significantly eat into your returns. 


In today’s episode we continue our financial check-up by reviewing what fees we’re paying, and what fees you should avoid!


In this episode we cover:

  • How much are we paying in fees for ETFs and Managed Funds?
  • Are there any cheaper alternatives?
  • How much are we paying in brokerage?  
  • Are there any other platforms, news sites or other subscriptions I’m paying for?
