Not Vanguard Investments. See Post No. 23. And, all of their mutual funds have extremely low expense ratios, and no loads to purchase.

So, the expense ratio for the Vanguard SP 500 index stock mutual fund is 0.04 percent. The expense ratio for ther Vanguard SP 500 index ETF is 0.03 percent. I wouldn't call that MUCH, MUCH lower.
