State Street reduces fees on flagship equity funds
State Street has reduced the fees on its flagship Australian and global equity funds in order to best offer value to investors.
The new management fee on the Australian Equity fund had reduced from 0.79% to 0.70% per annum while the Global Equity fund reduced from 0.98% to 0.85%.
Both of these funds seek to deliver strong total returns while managing total risk which State Street said was “especially relevant” in the current market environment.
