There are many ETFs, Mutual Funds and Unit Trusts in the market. Some ETFs advertise a low Expense Ratio and Total Expense Ratio.

There are many examples:

IVV, VOO and SPY for S&P 500

VNQ, RWR and SCHH for REITs

I would like to find a calculation, empirical evidence, real data that shows that $10k invested on a date (suppose January 2, 2010) would have been so many dollars in one ETF vs another or any other date, to know the net benefit to the investor.

    Have you tried looking at the individual ETF/fund websites where all this historical data is available and reconstructing the calculations yourself?

  • Not an answer, but you're going to find some low-fee funds that underperform the market and some high-fee funds that outperform the market. I would not expect to find a strong correlation between the fee level and the performance of a fund.

    -1. There are tools to measure the performance of stocks and ETFs. Just compare two ETFs following the same index (say, VOO vs SPY) over a long period of time and you'll see the difference. You can also find the expected difference in costs (using your $10k investment) by looking at the summary prospectuses of the two funds. Not sure what the point of this question is.
