The past-performance chart occupies the most space and tells you the least. Here is what to read instead.
The management expense ratio
Total annual cost as a percentage of assets. It compounds against you. A 1.8% MER against a 1.2% alternative is a third of your return over thirty years.
The sales charge
Deducted before a single ringgit is invested. A 5% charge means starting 5% behind.
Portfolio turnover
High turnover means trading costs you pay but do not see itemised.
The benchmark
Check what the fund compares itself to, and whether the comparison is honest.
