What are internal costs?
A. Internal costs are comprised of the expense ratio and turnover within the fund. Ordinarily investors pay these costs without ever seeing them. These costs are an important consideration when evaluating costs and fees within a mutual fund. High internal costs produce a dramatic adverse effect on the return that the investor receives on his or her accounts.
