MANAGEMENT EXPENSE RATIO – (MER)
The Management Expense Ratio (MER) represents the combined total of the Management Fee, Operating Expenses and Taxes charged to a fund during a given year expressed as a percentage of a fund’s average net assets for that year.
The returns you earn as an investor – weather reported in your statement, in newspaper or in promotional materials reflect performance data that is reported after the fund’s MER is deducted. For example, if your fund’s investments gained 9% last year and its MER is 2%, the reported return would be 7% for that time period.
MANAGEMENT FEE % + OPERATING EXPENSES % + TAXES % = MER %
