The Best Way to Fight or Waive VOO Fees

VOOs represent broad market low-risk investments. As part of the S&P 500, these stable funds earn consistently over time, making sense for the long-range investor.

Though relatively straightforward, VOO funds do include fees. Due to the diversity of these investments, when appealing a fee, DoNotPay's product works perfectly to help you recover unwarranted fees and commissions from VOO.

As part of the S&P 500, Vanguard leads the way in distributing ETFs and other VOO-related funds.

Understanding Vanguard VOO Fees

Many services like VOO charge fees for their services. The following fees apply for Vanguard VOO products:

• Brokerage accounts- $20 annually for each EFT and Mutual Fund accounts with a balance under $10,000
• Simple IRAs- $25 annually for each fund in the IRA
• 403b plans- $5 monthly for each participant
• 401K- $20 annually for each Vanguard account
• Personal Advisor fee- .30% of the funds under management
• Digital Management Advisor fee- .15% of the funds under management

It's important to note that in the case of the 401K plan, the more diversified the account, the more expensive the fees.

Tips to avoid Vanguard VOO fees:  

Though the fees for VOO accounts may seem numerous, ways do exist to avoid them. For instance:

• For Mutual Fund accounts, Vanguard will waive the fee of $20 annually if you sign up for e-services that allow you to receive statements, privacy notices, and other communications electronically.
• Maintaining a balance of $10,000 or more will waive brokerage and mutual funds fees.
• The $25 annual fee for 401K and IRA accounts disappears if the client possesses at least $50,000 in assets at Vanguard.
• The $5 monthly fee for 403b plans represents a fixed fee for every participant.

How to fight VOO fees on your own: 

The fact that VOO fees are straightforward and the ways to avoid them also laid out concisely eliminates most incidents to appeal a fee. But timing issues regarding balances and other variables may cause some clients to question a fee. 

To appeal or challenge a VOO fee, follow these steps:

1. Document the circumstances and relevant dates of the fee in dispute.
2. If you use the Personal Advisor service, contact your advisor with the information.
3. You may also call Customer Service at 1 877 662 7447.
