| michlam14 | to clarify, when referring to Gross return for fund manager: how do we account for the commission in the trading of instruments in the portfolio incurred by the fund manager when they are trading on the investor's behalf? I am assuming as an investor, the gross return would have already accounted for the comission paid to brokers for the execution of trades by the fund manager? |
| johntan1979 | No, gross is before any deduction, including fees, expenses and taxes. |
