The Index Fund Moved the Fee to the Asterisk

The slide said 0.03. The asterisk kept the skim that pays the supermarket.

Come on. They cut the headline fee to 0.03 and left the skim in the asterisk, then the slide said investors deserve a lower cost. The prospectus still rents your shares and tips the freakin' supermarket while the slide has a down arrow in brand blue. That's the card. Your 401(k) still thinks this is the default. Pick a lane on the fee.
