Two components make up the total cost of ownership (TCO) of an exchange traded fund (ETF): tracking return difference and investor trading costs. Tracking return difference covers the expense ratio, the portfolio management efficiency in seeking to match the index returns, and the positive offset of any income from lending out underlying securities of the ETF. And, because ETFs are bought and sold on an exchange like stocks, trading costs include the commission and the bid-ask spread.
