FEES

Fund research firm Morningstar pays a lot of attention to management charges and expenses, and last year started differentiating it ratings of the individual share classes of each product. Share classes that charge excessive fees are now typically assigned lower ratings.

The Capital Group fund charges 1.65%, which is slightly above the median fee of the retail share class in its moderate category, which is 1.60%, according to FE Fundinfo

The ongoing charges figure for the Blackrock fund is 1.46%, “giving it a notable edge from the get-go,” said Möttölä.

“Yet, neither of them is expensive in the context of their categories,” he said.
