Look from the angle of market action, investor can use crural voting " with " greatly, the fund that leads high cost changes the fund that low cost leads, direct perhaps and redemptive fund. However, individual investor adopts the 3rd kind of strategy: Resort to court is protected jurally with seeking.
A few days ago, have investor with respect to fund of size of one of Ao Ke mark (Oakmark I) to lodge a complaint of administration fee problem, the individual investor of this fund sues the investment adviser of this fund- - Harris's colleague company (Harris Associates L.P) violate fiduciary duty collection exorbitant administration fee.

Two judges mood is disparate
Whether to violate the administration fee with fiduciary duty exorbitant collection to investing adviser, the United States has a famous Jiateboge to check (Gartenberg Test) think, if decide in what cost leads,go up each other are the market position that both sides is in equality, independent and do not suffer the other side to control, should check to think so nonexistent violate the act that exorbitant fee leads fiduciary duty collection.
On this case, two judges of American that get respect fully show disparate attitude however: Frank of presiding judge of court of the 7th circuit·Yisitebuluke thinks to invest the administration fee with exorbitant without collection adviser, but of this court before Cha De of presiding judge manage·Bo Erna supports the lawsuit of investor to advocate.
Take-over court of the 7th circuit refused the United States of this lawsuit to use " Jiateboge checks " to regard as sentence the basis of the case, turn and seek another simple testimony: Diaphaneity. Judge Yisitebuluke is in state support to adviser invests in this case and did not violate fiduciary duty collection when exorbitant fee leads, point out: "Depositary must have complete exposure, and cannot exist any fraudulent action. The client in this case (namely individual investor) , can poll with the foot through " the means of " , the service that will offer to investing adviser undertakes price " . Judge Frank elaborated a when support his logic simple rule: If the administration fee in case belongs to " of " apparent on the high side, so the court decides first surely exist among them con, on this foundation the judiciary just should intervene further.
However, of this court before Cha De of presiding judge manage·Boernabuzan is the same as Yisitebuluke's viewpoint, he thinks: "The unique part of this case oneself makes in decide collection administration fee can be mixed only on whether exorbitant view the administration fee that other and joint fund invests advisory place collection will undertake comparative. The characteristic of structure of joint fund processing makes the investment inside whole industry advisory the administration fee with exorbitant collection becomes a possibility, also should choose this profession when contrast consequently other investment collects fees advisorily behavior serves as conclude according to; Still can breath out Reese through comparing the administration fee standard that the company issues other fund collection to the banner, will examine its are right the individual investor of fund of size of one of Ao Ke mark collects fees exorbitant " . In short, bo Erna thinks to sentence the basis of the case to invest adviser to be opposite besides this the rate of specific orgnaization client, still should compare this to invest adviser to be opposite of all and other client collect fees the investment inside level and industry collects fees advisorily state.
