Fee Structure
SPARX charges a management fee based on a percentage of the value of the assets they manage. This fee can be as high as 2% per year, and is payable monthly or quarterly, or as negotiated with the client. Some client accounts may hold shares of mutual funds, which have their own separate management fees. SPARX may also charge a performance fee based on a percentage of the total investment return over a fixed period of time, as high as 20%. Expenses related to the assets, such as custody, administration, legal, and accounting fees, are paid by the clients and funds.
