Cost: expense ratio
We could not match an expense ratio for IDEF in the SEC prospectus data we read. Funds structured as trusts or notes, and very new funds, are often missing. We show nothing rather than a guess; the issuer's fact sheet has the figure.
Cash paid per current share (restated for share splits), before tax, from EODHD.
IDEF top holdings
We have no holdings for IDEF. Holdings come from Form N-PORT filed with the SEC; grantor trusts, unit investment trusts and notes do not file it, and we do not guess a portfolio.
