Canada Gets an F in Mutual Fund Fees

Canadian Capitalist recently posted a great article about a recent Morningstar report that shows how bad mutual fund fees in Canada are when compared to other nations.

“The report found the median asset-weighted expense ratio to be 1.31% for fixed-income funds, 2.31% for equity funds and 0.80% for money market funds. These fees were the highest among the 22 countries in the survey for equity funds, third highest for fixed-income funds and tied for highest for money market funds. Morningstar found the fees so bad that they ranked Canada an F, a grade that none of the other 21 countries received in any of the four categories — regulation & taxation, disclosure, fees & expenses and sales & media — in the survey.”
