The effect of charges on investment returns:
Chapter 5 Page 14
Assume an investor invested RM100,000 in a UTS that has initial entry cost of 7% with an MER of 2% for 5 years and 12% of return every year.
Working Money : RM100K/(1+7%) = RM93,457.94 MER : 2% p.a. Rate of Return : 12% p.a. Effective Rate of Return = 12% - 2% = 10% Compounding Factor For Lump Sum Investment := (1+i)n where i = rate of return n = no. of years Compounding Factor =( 1+10%)5 = (1+0.1)5 =1.6105 = RM93,457.94 x 1.6105 = RM150,514.01
