from this date, the management fees of all the brackets will be standardized to 0.75% per annum, against, until then, is 0.60 % for Eurossima (which has been reported to 2.75 % as of 2015), the 0.70 % for the fund in euros opportunistic Euro-Exclusive (3.15% in 2015) and 0.85 % for the units of account. Boursorama is therefore the costs of its management of the fund in euros, but made an effort on the units of account. As a result, the management led of the contract, accessible at no extra cost, also saw its rate move at 0.75 %.

In addition, the bank does not yield to the sirens of the constraints of payment on its euro funds Euro Exclusive, which is always accessible without having to assign a portion of its payment on units of account.
