One of the biggest reasons why mutual funds have a higher cost than ETFs is because of the need for indexes to constantly rebalance, which results in commission costs that coincide with bid-ask spreads.

Another cost issue with mutual funds has to do with something called “cash drag.” Mutual funds are required to have a certain amount of cash to cover potential net redemptions. ETFs are not required to do this, due to the same creation and redemption-in-kind feature.
Lower fees are driving investors to passively managed funds. Our article on fund management fees explains the different fees investors pay to have their funds managed.
