A scheme with daily average net assets of Rs 800 crore incurred total expenses of Rs 12 crore for a year. What is its total expense ratio (TER)?

The TER is 1.50 percent, calculated as annual expenses of Rs 12 crore divided by average daily net assets of Rs 800 crore. TER expresses the recurring cost of running the scheme as a percentage of its assets.

  1. A0.75%
  2. B1.50%Correct
  3. C2.00%
  4. D6.67%

Explanation

TER = expenses / average net assets = 12 / 800 = 1.5%. 0.75% would result from halving the expenses. 6.67% inverts the ratio (800/12 in wrong form), and 2.00% has no basis in the data.
