Sep 14, 2024

In this episode, Warren Ingram answers your questions about fund manager fees and the impact on investor profits. Warren speaks to investing in retirement annuities provided by unit trust companies, admin and platform fees, as well as the importance of understanding investment costs to ensure you're not overpaying.

Takeaways

  • When investing in retirement annuities, it's important to consider admin fees or platform fees charged by unit trust companies.
  • Consolidating investments on one platform can help reduce fees.
  • Insurance company platforms often have higher fees and lack transparency.
  • Understanding investment costs is crucial to avoid overpaying.
  • For monthly investments, market timing is less important, and investors should focus on choosing the right investments and giving them time to grow.
  • For lump sum investments, it's better to do larger transactions to minimize transaction fees.
  • Having a fixed investment program and not worrying about short-term market fluctuations is key to long-term growth.
