The management fee is calculated and paid quarterly in arrears at the rate of 0.25% of the total value of the Company’s total net assets under management on 31 March, 30 June, 30 September and 31 December.
There is no performance fee on the management of the Company.
Morningstar calculates all expenses for the financial year, consisting of management fees, performance fees, directors' fees, administration fees, custody fees, audit fees, marketing fees, loan interest, tax, restructuring costs and all other expenses given in the Statement of Total Return and notes in the Report and Financial Statements. They subtract performance fee, restructuring costs, transaction costs, compensation scheme expenses and trail commission then calculate the average daily net assets on a cum fair basis, then divide the total expenses by the average daily net assets and multiply the resulting figure by 100 to arrive at this ratio.
Please note, not all companies have yet adopted ‘ongoing charges’ as the methodology in their Annual Report and Financial Statements. This may mean there are differences between the charges shown on our factsheets and website and the TER shown in the Annual Report.
