💡One-time Fees: Subscription Fees, Redemption Fees, and Switching Fees
When buying funds, the most common fees are subscription fees, redemption fees, and conversion fees. As the name suggests, investors typically pay a one-time subscription or purchase fee as a commission 💵 for the fund trading service when buying funds through banks, securities companies, fund trading platforms, or insurance companies. This fee is usually deducted directly from your investment principal and generally ranges from 1.5% to 3%, depending on the specific company or fund.For example, if your investment principal is HK$1,000,000 and the subscription fee is 3%, after deducting HK$30,000 for the subscription fee, your actual investment amount would be HK$970,000.A redemption fee is charged when selling a fund. However, in Hong Kong, most fund companies or trading platforms do not charge this fee, but investors should be aware of individual platforms that may impose such charges🧐.As for the conversion fee, this is what investors pay when they withdraw money from one fund to purchase another. The conversion fee typically hovers around 1%. Compared to subscription fees, conversion fees are usually lower, but be mindful of any additional terms🔍, such as only being allowed to convert between funds within the same fund company.💡Ongoing Fees: Management Fees and Others
In addition to the one-time fees mentioned above, ongoing fees will be incurred while holding the fund, with the most well-known being the management fee. The management fee compensates the fund manager and team for regularly updating asset allocations. This fee is continuously deducted from the total value of the fund held. Other fees, such as custodian fees or administrative fees, are charged in the same manner, meaning these costs are already reflected in the fund's total balance and will not be deducted from your investment principal.✨WeLab Bank Breaks the Traditional Fund Fee Model
