What is the 'expense ratio' for index funds and why is it lower than active funds?

0% of students got this wrong

EXPLANATION

Index fund TER is far lower than active fund TER because: (1) No fundamental research needed — portfolio mirrors index mechanically; (2) Very low portfolio turnover — only index changes require trading; (3) Lower fund manager salaries vs active fund managers; (4) Lower distribution commissions. Nifty 50 index funds from large AMCs now charge as little as 0.05%–0.20% TER.
