Expenses FundPortfolio of ValueMarket Total NAV
Example
Market Value = $100 mil
Number of Shares = 10 mil
NAV = $100 / 10 = $10 / share
Suppose Market Value goes up to $112.5 mil, and the management fees during that period were $0.1 mil. What is the ending NAV?
NAV = (112.5 – 0.1) / 10 = $11.24 / share

Traditional Closed End FundsShares of the fund trade like stock on an exchangeFund does not usually offer additional shares or repurchase
sharesFund is actively managedMarket price is NOT NECESSARILY EQUAL to NAV
Premium or discount reflects investors’ opinions of manager’s ability to select good investments in future
Poor history of long-run returns

Open-End Funds (Mutual Funds)
Fund manager is always willing to buy back (redeem) shares or sell additional shares at the NAV.
Shares may not be bought from or sold to anyone except the Fund.
Shares of the fund are always valued at NAV (calculated at the end of each day).
Total number of shares outstanding will change as fund sells/buys shares.
7
Loads: Sales Charge
• Front End: Paid when shares are purchased.• 3% of NAV is typical
• Back End: Paid when shares are redeemed• 5-10% fee on sale. Typically drops by 1% every
year. No-Load: No sales charge.
8
12b-1 Fees
An alternative to a load to cover advertising & marketing expenses. Can be found in both loaded and no-load funds
Can deduct as much as .75% of assets annually to cover fund advertising & marketing.
9
Records Fees
Funds can charge as much as .25% of assets annually for records fees.
10
Management Fees
Range is typically .20% to 1.00%.
Does not include trading commissions
11
Expense Ratio
Expense Ratio =
Annual Expenses/$ Amt of Fund Assets
Annual Expenses are:
Management fees, 12b-1 fees, records fees
(NOT front or back-end loads and not trading commissions)
12
Expense Ratio
Studies find that funds with lower expense ratios earn higher (net) returns than those with higher expense ratios.
13
Turnover & TaxesTurnover: Fraction of portfolio replaced each year.
Studies indicate that funds with a lower turnover achieve higher returns
Mutual funds have pass-through-status which means that taxes are paid only by the investor, not the mutual fund.Investors can be taxed on gains they never received
Not an issue if in a tax-deferred retirement account
14
PerformanceMany Studies find active managers (on average)
underperform benchmarks after costs and fees by about 1% per year.
Good performance is associated with low expense ratio.
Very low correlation between top funds one year and top funds the next year.
Some positive correlation between bottom funds one year and bottom funds the next year.
Investors tend to put more money in funds that have recently done well
Investors in mutual funds tend to overweight growth stocks
15

than relative returnMay be a hurdle rate for performance fee

no better than mutual fundsAdditional fees can cut into positive results –
