Ongoing charges

All funds have an annual ongoing charge (sometimes abbreviated to OCF, for ‘ongoing charges figure’).

This charge covers the day-to-day costs of running and managing the fund, as well as any one-off charges. It’s deducted directly by the fund manager – it comes off the value of your investment in the fund.
