I intend investing in an ARF in the near future. Investing approx €20,000. What are the average charges and best options at present that people have come across?
It probably depends on whether you need advice/help in setting it up, or not.
If you want to set it up on an 'execution only' basis (no advice) you should be able to buy it with a single charge of around 1% annual management charge, on the value of the fund.
If you need advice you should be able to get a discount broker to help/advise you for a fee of about €200/€300 (?) .
