#The investment fee is a measure of the fees deducted from investments. These fees include the cost of the Fund’s investment managers, custodian and investment advisor and certain other costs of the Fund. The investment fee is the total of these costs, divided by the net asset value of the Fund. These fees are deducted directly from the investment earnings before they are allocated to member accounts. They are therefore not deducted from your super account directly. |
