How can 2.13% TER be justified for medium-risk short-term savings?

Thanks Jake'sGran


The other fund, CF Miton Special Situations Portfolio A Acc, had the 2.13% TER (according to Fidelity). Regardless of timescales, I really think IFAs must point out such high costs straight away.

I put £2k in First State Greater China last year and it has made £437, also First State
Asia Pacific Leaders has made £760.74 on £3k. But, when I went to have a look I noticed my European fund (Fidelity) has taken a tumble.Trustnet is a good place for checking funds. Took me a while to get used to it but I always find what I want to know.

Must admit I am a bit addicted to trustnet, getting to be a bit of a geek, still a lot I dont understand looking at them though. I also have some investment in C F Miton special situations, invesco perpetual income/distribution/montly income, m& g strategic bond, the threadneedle emerging markets. I cant complain really, just trying to get my head round it and using willpower not to keep looking at them all the time!! As I said, a bit of a geek ha ha.
