Factsheets may be found here.
The following charges and costs make up the OCF for each fund:
Annual Management Charge (AMC)
- This charge covers the annual costs of the investment team managing the fund.

* The transaction cost figure includes an element of implicit cost (“slippage”) which is the difference between the mid-market price at the time the trade is sent to the market (“arrival price”) and the eventual execution price of the trade. It is possible for the slippage cost to be negative; for example, when buying an asset the arrival price might be higher than the actual price paid. If this happens to enough trades, an overall negative transaction cost can accrue. In the case of a negative overall transaction cost, a zero transaction cost is shown.
**The Net Ongoing Charge figure is as per the Key Investor Information Document (KIID)
Transaction Charges
Transaction charges are costs incurred by the fund when they buy and sell the underlying investments and are taken from the Fund’s capital, meaning they are included in the calculated Net Asset Value (NAV). This figure is illustrated in the table above and disclosed to all Platforms, available upon request and can be found in our EMT (European MiFID Template), which is available from the Key Documents page. These are made up of:
Direct transaction costs
- Taxes and Levies: such exchange fees
Indirect transaction costs
- Arrival Price: the difference between the market mid price at the time of the order being placed with the broker and the price at which the trade is executed
