Who writes this
My name is Jacob Shasha. I am a private investor who got tired of not knowing what my own account was costing me, worked it out in a spreadsheet, and then found that almost nobody publishes that number in a form you can check.
I am not a licensed financial adviser, a fund manager, an analyst or an accountant. I have no professional qualification in finance and I am not going to pretend otherwise, because a site built on checkable claims cannot start with an unchecked one about its own author.
AUTHOR_BACKGROUND_PLACEHOLDER: replace with a short, honest description of your investing experience. How many years, which markets, what style. Understate rather than overstate. If a reader could not verify a claim you make here, do not make it.
What that means for you
What I can do: read a published fee schedule, open an account and record what actually happens, run the same test across several tools, and report the result with a date and a source. None of that requires a licence. It requires patience and a willingness to publish the inconvenient result.
What I cannot do: tell you what to buy, assess whether something suits your circumstances, or take responsibility for a decision you make. Nothing on this site is personal advice, and no page here knows anything about your situation.
Why it exists
Every broker and every free tracker will happily show you what your portfolio is worth. Almost none of them will show you what it costs to hold, because that number is not in their interest. It is a real number, it compounds, and it is knowable. This site works it out.
How to check me
Three pages exist for exactly that purpose: how we test sets out the method, how we make money names every commercial relationship, and corrections lists everything published here that turned out to be wrong.
That last one is the one worth reading first. Any site can claim to be careful. A site that publishes its own mistakes has to be.
