The European Fund and Asset Management Association (EFAMA) has today released its latest Market Insights report, Perspective on the costs of UCITS. The full report breaks down the costs of UCITS, focusing on the fees charged for the different services provided along the investment fund value chain and distinguishing between the product cost for which fund managers are directly responsible, and the total cost of ownership borne by consumers, which includes the product cost as well as the costs of distribution and advice.
This Market Insights report has been elaborated using data from Fitz Partners, a fund research company that specialises in the calculation of fees and expenses of cross-border funds domiciled in Luxembourg and Ireland.
