SSGA's Fee Cuts & the Future of ETF Investing Dear John, SSGA shocked the ETF world earlier this week by announcing significant fee cuts on 15 ETFs, taking ETF fee wars to another level. Simultaneously, TD Ameritrade expanded its commission-free ETF trading platform, adding the SSGA ETFs and booting Vanguard off its list. What does the massive race to zero fees mean for investors? Will smart-beta funds follow suit? What is the future of ETF distribution? And what does an ETF industry look like when fees are this low?
