In reality, the total charges will vary from product to product. All products have 1% AMC (plus 0.02% assumed dealing costs) only. Investor's tax status remains the same throughout. For OEIC only one assumed CGT allowance is used at the end of the term. OEIC Charges are paid from income. Higher rate tax payments on the income from the OEIC are taken from the fund. CGT allowance grows with inflation of 2.5%.
