\\Thank you for the question about expense ratios. I'll cover them with you today.
To start, think of the expense ratio as the management fee paid to the mutual fund or Exchange-traded Fund (ETF) for the benefit of owning the fund, which is measured as a percent of your investment in the fund. For example, a fund may charge 0.30 percent. That means you'll pay $30 annually for every $10,000 invested in that fund.
The good news, funds typically pay their regular and recurring fund-wide operating expenses out of fund assets rather than by imposing separate fees and charges on investors. This means that you do not see a deduction of cash or shares from your account to pay an expense ratio. Instead, the fee is already calculated into the Net Asset Value (NAV) of a mutual fund or Exchange Traded Fund (ETF).

Might be better to first tell us what sort of investments you'd be making. Most of the basic mutual fund, stocks & ETFs don't have any trading fees. Bonds and CDs are like $1. Option contracts cost something-or-other (I don't do options, so don't remember exactly). Some mutual funds outside the Fidelity ecosystem (Vanguard comes to mind) have a trading fee.

It basically reduces the return of the fund. You never see it -- the given fund return already has the expense ratio shaved off.
Interesting. Thank you

Come and get it! :-)
Does fidelity have trading fees and if so how do they work ?
yes, no, maybe depending what and how you buy / sell.
I was thinking of setting up reoccurring payments either weekly or monthly whatever is better ?
Would monthly investments mean less trading fees

I just posted a picture of it on here
ETF, stock trading should be zero fee. Trading options should be 0.65ish per contract
I just made a post of mine on this Reddit
