Is it true that a fund's management fee is included in the expense ratio?

A fund with an annual management fee of 1.25% and annual expense ratio of 1.39%? If it's included in the expense ratio, what about fees for a mother fund?

Hi, the management fee is part of the total expense ratio. For mother funds, they have their own layer of fees, however, for most fund houses, there is usually an internal arrangement that limits or even remove the fees arising from a fund feeding into a mother fund.

Is the management fee included as part of the expense ratio?

Who pays for the spread and expense ratio if you invest in robo advisors like Stashaway? I understand they charge a 0.5% management fee, are there hidden costs like the spread and expense ratio that Stashaway is not making clear to investors?

Why is it in up markets fund managers are high beta, but in down markets sharpe ratios turn negative and then fees cause excess loss beyond ETFs? Does active management work when paying such high fees?

When it comes to investing, how much fees are considered too expensive? What should be the benchmark fees (eg, transaction fees, platform fees, fund manager fees, etc)?

How are the expense ratio fee and management fee being deducted for the ETF? Is it before every dividend distribution?
