ETF Expense Ratios

richardkellman

Hi Guys:

Most traders of ETFs would include preliminary scans of Size (assets under management), Liquidity (average daily trading volume) and Cost (expense ratio). Unfortunately, I am unable to find any information on the critically important expense ratio for any ETF I am researching. Is this item hidden somewhere?

Thanks,

Richard

Available non-charted symbol data is displayed using the "Full Quote" option in the "Chart Attributes" section on the Chart Workbench, or using the "Symbol Summary" link at the bottom of the Chart Workbench page.

Available scan options are listed in the drop downs under the scan window on the Advanced Scan Workbench. There are just a few fundamental data items located in Ticker Properties or Price, Volume and SCTRs. If an option isn't there, it isn't scannable.

From the Symbol Summary page, it looks like SC intends to add more fundamental data, but it hasn't happened yet for some symbol categories.

Thank you Mark. Essentially, I am correct in assuming that this critically useful information is not available. I will post a suggestion that this be considered.

Kind regards,

Richard

"Critically important" and "useful" are relative terms, but it doesn't appear in the data supplied on the StockCharts.com system.

In the Symbol Summary there is a link to the corporate entity's website (if available). The ETF's appear to have links to the ETF sponsor's website where the expense ratio is available straight from the horse's mouth.

They may add it after your suggestion. Even more so if it's something that they can get excited about for ACP. Although Grayson claimed that 2021 was going to be a big year of enhancements, adding things on the SharpCharts system appears to have run into a strong resistance line.

I agree, this data should be implemented ..And to date? The only reply I have EVER rec'd from this "take the money + screw them" operation so far, from at least 6 times to get answers, was when it came to MONEY + close to my renewal = THAT IS SAD for an operation.

Have you looked at Chart School?

All the indicators and overlays are explained there in depth, and if scannable, scanning suggestions, including syntax and examples, are included, usually at the end.

Also, a simpler, more schematic reference for all scan terms is here:

I've noticed the documentation is being continuously updated and at least in some cases dramatically improved, although i agree with you the search function needs improvement. If you already know the term you are looking for it's pretty good, but if you don't know the site's preferred terms it can't guess what you might be looking for - e.g. data fields is not one of their terms, so the search is not productive.

There should be a library of Youtube - like videos associated with Chart School (or better yet, from the workbenches themselves) to support the documentation for people (like me, as I get older) who don't have the patience to work through the text explanations.
