Ongoing Charges Figure (OCF)
The Ongoing Charges Figure (OCF, also known as the Total Expense Ratio or TER) is the ongoing costs of running the fund. The OCF includes the fund managers Annual Management Charge and other expenses of running the fund, such as the board of directors and audit fees. The Annual Management Charge is the charge taken by Triodos Investment Management to select investments based on their sustainable and financial performance.
The OCF is expressed as an annual percentage and is calculated and deducted from the fund daily. The charge is reflected in the value of the fund, you will not see this on your statement and do not need to pay for it separately.
Please note there may be a difference in the OCF for the distribution and capitalisation share classes, where this is the case, we will always show the highest figure. The OCF can be found under ‘Share price and key details’, and is correct as of 31 December 2018 and may vary.
Share prices are converted between sterling and euros when buying and selling, and a fee of 0.025% of the exchange rate used is charged. This fee is not applied directly to individual investments, it is shared by all euro and sterling investors in the fund and is already accounted for in the published share prices.
