Funds are a popular form of investment for retail investors. In the case of funds, the investment risk is scattered as a result of investment in several asset items. At the same time they offer opportunities for performance, which as a rule are higher than for other safe forms of financial investments (e.g. savings books).<\/p>

In addition to the performance and risks associated with their funds, the fees charged are also relevant for investors. The fees charged for a fund are broken down into one-off entry charges at the time of purchasing units, ongoing charges for asset management during the course of a year as well as additional miscellaneous performance-dependent fees. They are calculated as a percentage of the fund volume and reduce the performance of the fund. Fees must be disclosed in the information for investors about the funds – the fund rules and the Key Investor Information Document (KIID).<\/p>

In order to provide consumers with transparency about the fees charged by the funds on the market, the FMA analyses the fees for Austrian retail funds on a yearly basis. As a result, investors are able to compare how high the fees that are charged for their fund are compared with the market as a whole and their investment strategy.<\/p>

The risk\/performance profile of funds vary depending on the investment strategy and risk class of a fund. As a rule, investors should be aware that also in the case of funds higher performance opportunities are associated with higher risks.<\/p>
