Common questions

Investment Fee Impact Calculator FAQs

Why is the fee impact larger than the fees deducted?+

Money removed as fees can no longer compound, so the impact includes both the charges and the growth those charges might have earned.

Which fees should I include?+

You can combine ongoing platform, fund and management percentages into one approximate annual rate.

Does a cheaper investment always perform better?+

No. Cost is only one factor, and future performance is uncertain.
