Management Fee

Management fee is a fee paid from fund assets to an investment adviser for portfolio-management services.

Why this matters to income investors

The fee is a recurring claim on portfolio income before shareholders receive distributions.

How to use management fee in your research

Read the fee formula and its base in the latest filing. Calculate what the charge takes from assets or earnings, then check whether waivers are temporary and whether the remaining income supports distributions.
