Expense Ratio search?

Discussion in 'Trading' started by thegeneral, May 29, 2019.

  1. I'm newer to trading and am able to find expense ratio's usually on ETF's, but when trying to look up a dividend paying stock, for example "APLE" or "PSEC", I can't find the ER for the life of me. Could someone help point me in the right direction? I would like to be able to figure out the ratio's without trying to pull my hair out.

    (To those who will argue, I used the search box in the top right and couldn't find this specific question or answer to it.)

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expense_ratio
    The expense ratio of a stock or asset fund is the total percentage of fund assets used for administrative, management, advertising (12b-1), and all other expenses. An expense ratio of 1% per annum means that each year 1% of the fund's total assets will be used to cover expenses.[1] The expense ratio does not include sales loads or brokerage commissions.

    So an approximation for an individual stock
    https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/APLE/financials?p=APLE
    12/31/2018 Selling General and Administrative 130,128
    https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/APLE/balance-sheet?p=APLE
    12/31/2018 Total Assets 4,928,672

    approximate expense ratio == Selling General and Administrative Expenses / Total Assets == 130,128 / 4,928,672 == 2.64 percent
