Reread the Fee and the Index: ETF Discipline Map

The decision is how often you re-read the fee and whether the fund still refers to the index you bought. This page does not recommend a new product, and it does not set a yield target.

A calendar, not a new ticker

Pick a month you will open the latest documents. Two checks:

• Fee: the management fee, custody fee, and ongoing charges match the prospectus you read when you bought, or you can quote the sentence that changed them.
• Index: the fund's stated index or benchmark is still the one in your notes. A name change on a poster is a reason to read the notice, not a reason to ignore it.

If either check fails, you do not add money until you have written what changed. You also do not "fix" it by buying a different fund the same day. The different fund needs its own documents.

Tracking difference, if you need the line in the periodic report, is the tracking-error page. Pausing new contributions is the DCA stop page. This page is only the reread.

China public-fund disclosure includes the prospectus and later updates when important information changes. See the disclosure measures.

FAQ

Is every month required?

The measures do not set your household calendar. You set the month. Skipping the month you set is the failure.

What if the fee fell?

Write the new number from the document. A lower fee is still a change. Confirm the sentence before you add money.

Should I rebalance to a percentage I saw online?

Not from this page. If you rebalance, the target is the split you wrote yourself, not a percentage copied from an article.
