Do all investment funds charge similar annual fee?
Most funds in the market charge an annual fee of 1.5% or 2% of the value of the investment. The combined fund from NTUC Income charge a lower fee of about 1% per annum. A difference of 1% in annual fee, on an initial investment of $50,000, amounts to $26,000 at the end of 20 years (assuming an average return of 6% per annum). You can get $26,000 more, by investing in the combined fund.
