Fund of Funds Investor Loses Appeal on Excessive Fee Case-Investment Management Update
August 2, 2017--On July 24, 2017, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit affirmed a district court's finding that a shareholder in a mutual fund operating as a fund of funds does not have standing to sue the fund's investment adviser under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for fees charged by the underlying funds owned by the fund of funds.
The plaintiff invested in a fund of funds advised by the investment adviser, who also advised the underlying funds in which the fund of funds invested. Section 36(b) allows fund shareholders to bring an action against the fund's investment adviser for excessive fees it receives from the fund. In this case, the plaintiff did not allege that the investment adviser breached its duty under Section 36(b) with respect to the fund of funds, but rather as a result of the fees charged by the underlying funds in which the fund of funds invested.
