The Ongoing Charges Figure (OCF) shows how much it will cost to invest in the fund annually. This figure includes all aspects of operating a fund during the course of its financial year. The OCF may vary between each fund and class of share/unit and from month to month.  Details of the current OCF are available in the latest factsheet for the relevant fund. Factsheets may be found here.

The following charges and costs make up the OCF for each fund:

The below calculation assumes investment in the A class of each fund, figures may deviate between the other share classes of each 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)

Are there any other costs associated with the Fund that I should be aware of?

Transaction Charges

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
