answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/12/2016 answer text <p>The management fee paid to Fund Managers is not dependent on where the fund is established. Management fees are paid to cover the fund managers’ operational costs in managing investments in difficult operating environments.</p><p>Fund Managers do pay a licensing and registration fee to the governing jurisdiction to establish the fund. This varies depending on the size, type and location of the fund. For example, a fund established in Mauritius would pay one-off set up fees of USD$2,500 and annual fees of USD$5,000. These costs would be split proportionately between investors depending on size of their commitment to the fund.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 08/12/2016 16:49:24 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
