Fees and Charges

One of the major benefits of investing in MAP Australian Equity Fund is that there is no entry fee, contribution fee or exit fee (provided you hold units in the fund for a period greater than 12 months). MAP charges an annual fee of 1.53% of the Funds assets which includes an administration fee of 0.7%.

There is a small buy/sell spread between purchase and redemption costs to cover brokerage on investing and redeeming monies in the fund. When you purchase units in the fund, you pay the issue price, which is the unit price plus a buy spread. When you redeem units, you are paid the redemption price, which is the unit price less the sell spread.
