Abstract

Zusammenfassung Während in den USA die Veröffentlichung der Gesamtkostenquote (Total Expense Ratio) von Investmentfonds im Sinne von Informationstransparenz und Produktvergleichbarkeit üblich ist, gaben Fondsgesellschaften in Europa bis vor kurzem nur über die Höhe der Management Fee (welche ein wesentlicher, aber eben nur ein Teil der gesamten Kosten ist) Auskunft. Im Gegensatz zu bisher veröffentlichten Studien über Fondskosten, die auf den US-Markt ausgerichtet waren, untersuchen wir in Europa beheimatete Fonds und analysieren jene Faktoren, welche die „hidden costs“ beeinflussen, also den Anteil der Gesamtkosten, der den Investoren aufgrund fehlender Publikationsvorschriften bis zur schrittweisen Umsetzung der UCITS III-Richtlinien im Jahre 2004 kaum bekannt war (und zumeist noch immer kaum bekannt ist). Dabei zeigt sich, dass neben der Höhe der Management Fee vor allem das Volumen eines Fonds sowie das Sitzland und die Anlageregion einen Einfluss auf diese bislang „versteckten“, weil nicht Publikationspflichtigen Zusatzkosten haben.
