We’ve also seen heightened scrutiny of ongoing charges, and since we began publishing research on the ongoing charges of UCITS—following our decades of research on the expense ratios of US-registered mutual funds—we’ve frequently heard two misperceptions when UCITS ongoing charges are compared with US-registered mutual fund expense ratios.
