A capital way for funds to charge
Article Abstract:
UK income fund managers have been allowed to charge to capital since 1994. Some 40% of UK fund managers are using this method, according to Fund Research's managing director, Peter Jeffreys. Those who favor this method argue that the fees will be outstripped by the growth of capital, and higher yielding funds are able to use equities and seek capital growth if they have more freedom in how they achieve higher yields. Investors cannot easily make comparisons between income funds if some funds charge fees to capital.

Investment trusts have tended to see discounts widen, and investors could benefit from a narrowing of discounts. Investment trusts can also enter investment areas that are closed to unit trusts.
