Investments

Some of the disadvantages of investing through a managed fund are:

You may not know exactly what direct investments your managed fund holds.
You do not have control over the investments bought and sold within the managed fund nor the timing of those transactions.
As a result of this, you’re not likely to be able to manage the capital gains or losses that will be passed on to you.
Your distributions may include a component that represents a return of your original capital.
You may incur higher fees than with other investment options.
You may have difficulty deciding which managed fund to invest in.
The fund manager’s performance (after fees) may not outperform the comparative market index.
