The Verdict
abrdn Global Smaller Companies Fund Retail charges an expense ratio of 1.46%. On a $100,000 portfolio, that's $1,460 per year in fees, and it scales with the amount invested. Supreme.PM's decoded model tracked it at only 35% correlation over the measured period, so it should not be treated as a substitute for this fund, for a flat monthly subscription that does not change with portfolio size.
