That allows them to keep costs low, and passive funds kept $15 in fees on every $10,000 invested last year. Among all the other funds, investors yanked out a total of $478 billion. The average actively managed fund still charges about 1.8 times as much as the average index fund.

That's in between the $8 for traditional stock index funds and the $70 for actively managed stock funds.
