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\u2019 operational costs in managing investments in difficult operating environments.<\/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>
