Cost efficiency metric explained, with its limits

Original: Turbobulls' Cost efficiency is 1 minus (fees and taxes on your trades) divided by your gains. The honest limit: it can't

A personal finance explainer defines cost efficiency as one minus the fees and taxes paid on trades divided by trading gains. It notes the metric's honest limitation: it cannot capture a fund's own ongoing charge, which is deducted inside the fund price and never appears as a transaction, so investors are told to check the fund factsheet for that figure instead.

Why now: Investors are looking for clearer ways to measure the true drag of fees and taxes on returns.
