 Global Fee Survey

Mercer’s 2008 Asset Manager Fee Survey is a biennial report analysing fee data on 19,000 asset management products from 3,400 investment management firms. The survey covers asset managers in a range of geographies and across numerous products including pooled and separately managed accounts.

The study is intended for use as a reference when assessing asset management fees. For most investors fees are not a critical component in the evaluation of an investment manager product. It is nonetheless an important consideration as they can reduce the expected manager added value by anywhere from 20 to 50 percent.
