Research shows mutual fund costs eroded significant investor wealth over decade
Study reveals mutual fund commissions cut investor wealth by over 25% in most schemes over ten years, underscoring fee transparency and low-cost investing importance.
A recent study highlights how mutual fund commission costs have substantially impacted investor returns over the past decade, with expenses in many regular plans reducing wealth by more than 25% in four out of 5 schemes. The analysis found that cost drag, rather than market volatility, was the primary factor in diminished long term returns for a majority of retail investors. The findings have renewed focus on the importance of fee transparency and low cost options in mutual fund investing.
