How this is worked out

  • Capital that makes it free. The yearly cost divided by the income rate. At 4%, that is 25 times the yearly cost.
  • How that works. Capital of that size pays the expense from its income. The capital itself is not spent.
  • Worth if invested instead. What the same payments would grow to if invested each month at the return you chose.
  • What is not guaranteed. Dividends and returns. Prices also rise over time, and dividends may be taxed depending on where the fund is based.
