Paraphrasing (8th paragraph)

Text

Twisting the knife in the wound, big fund companies are charging investors royally for lackluster results. They take $1.54 in fees for every $100 invested in equity funds, up nearly 14% since 1993, according to mutual-fund tracker Lipper Inc. Given that the costs of running funds don't rise much as assets grow, fees should be steady or even falling. To add insult to injury, some fund groups that have lost scads of money for investors are sticking them with extra charges — because the value of their accounts has sunk below the minimum investment. T. Rowe Price Associates, Dreyfus, Fildelity, and Zurich Scudder Investments impose such penalties. Others, including Franklin Resources, are even raising the minimum. Apart from being stuck with those charges, some investors with big losses face steep tax bills — for capital gains on stocks bought months or years before they became shareholders.

The main idea of the paragraph

The investors are having a difficult time. While the costs of running funds don’t rise much as assets grow, the fees the fund companies charge increase. As a result of the raising of the minimum by some companies, the investors have to pay penalty fines when their accounts sink below the minimum investment. Besides, they have to face steep tax bills for capital gains on stocks bought long before they became shareholders. (All these plus loss from the funds are contributing to the fleeing of investors from the fund market.

投资者的日子也不好过:虽然经营基金的成本并没有随资产的增加而上升很多,但基金公司的收费却增加了;由于一些公司上调了最低投资数额,投资者因为其账户上的金额低于最低投资数额而不得不交罚金;此外,投资者还要面对高额的税单--为那些他们成为股东的数月或数年前购买股票所得的资金收益付税。(所有这些再加在基金投资上的损失使得投资者逃离基金市场。)
