​What Are Basis Points (bps)?
Beyond fund fees, basis points are also used to measure a change in value. For example, a 1% change equals 100 basis points, and 0.01% equals 1 basis point. If you read that "the price has increased 50 basis points", it means the value of the security or asset has increased 0.50%.
Basis points are expressed in the abbreviations "bp," "bps," or "bips."
The "basis" is a fraction of a percent, and basis points are most common when describing small movements in value or publishing the cost of investments.
