Buying investment funds

The costs of an investment fund affect the returns, so it’s important to find out how much the fund will charge you. You’ll find this information in the Key Information Document (KID). Every fund charges costs, such as management fees, administration fees and transaction fees:

• The management fees and administration fees are known as ongoing costs. They can change every year.
• The transaction fees cover the expenses incurred by fund managers when buying and selling investments within the investment fund. These fees are not part of the ongoing costs and are not mentioned in the KID.

All the costs (ongoing costs and transaction fees) are factored into the investment fund's price and set by the fund itself. You may also have to pay transaction fees to your bank or broker if you buy or sell an investment fund.

For full details of all our fees, please see our Self-Directed Investing Basic (PDF, 78 KB) and Self-Directed Investing Plus (PDF, 98 KB) cost information sheets.

You can buy or sell investment funds on Internet Banking or in the ABN AMRO app. For a comprehensive rundown of all the steps, click here. Investors with a Self-Directed Investing Plus account can also use the My Dealing Room trading platform.

We need to know how much knowledge and experience you have of investing to get an idea of which investment products are right for you. This is why we ask you to answer a few questions about your knowledge and experience before you can start investing. For example, what types of investment products you have, how long you have had them and how often you place orders.
