The FSA Spy market buzz – 4 April 2025
BNY Mellon IM’s conversion; Elusive libertarian investing dream; Eastspring and Vontobel on tariffs; Wisdom of Larry Fink; Has the EU finally seen sense? Price of admission and much more.
Fund research firm Morningstar pays a lot of attention to management charges and expenses, and share classes that charge excessive fees are typically assigned lower ratings.
The ongoing charges fee (OCF) for the Hong Kong retail share class of the Fidelity fund is 1.94%, which is in Morningstar category’s second-costliest quintile. Morningstar thinks it is unlikely that the share class will be able to deliver positive alpha relative to the category benchmark index, explaining its analyst rating of neutral.
The OCF for the FSSA fund is just slightly lower at 1.91%, but Morningstar thinks that it will be able to deliver positive alpha relative to the category benchmark index, explaining its analyst rating of gold.
