- Management fees that are settled with the investment value every month. Information about management fees can be found in your pension scheme rules.

Therefore the fund charges an entry fee or an exit fee on the net asset value of the fund. Cardano Asset Management (the Manager) periodically calculates whether the long-term average transaction costs are still in line with the actual costs. If this is no longer correct, the Manager can change the height of the fees. As long as this does not exceed the maximum, these changes will take effect immediately and will be published on the Cardano Asset Management website. The current fees can be found in the overview Actuele op- en afslagen.
