In July, Standard Life Investments informed all of its customers, including SLAL, that they would be making some alterations to the way in which registrar fees are calculated and applied to their funds. These alterations will result in a potential increase in expenses on some life insured funds and some pension insured funds from 24 September 2007. The maximum effect on any fund will be 0.08% - equivalent to 80 pence a year for every £1000 invested.
At the same time, we have reviewed the way we illustrate other additional expenses to ensure that all of our fund charges are completely transparent across all the funds that we offer. As a result of this review, we have made some minor alterations to quotations and other illustrations that contain additional expenses such as registrar fees and custody fees.
Note, these additional expenses (other than the revised registrar fees) are not new expenses – we are simply making them more explicit within our documentation.
Please click on each of the links below to see how our funds are affected. All fund lists will be updated to reflect these changes.
