Hi can I find out why so little information is provided on the investment fact sheets?

It seems quite hard to make investment decisions like that when I don't have enough information

Mostly the fact sheets are quite comprehensive.

Avoid mutual funds anyway.

Sometimes in the charts of the fund/ETF you cannot find a graph of

the defined benchmark for direct comparison.

The most important criteria relevant to buying decisions/selection are:

-Area under Management (should be very high)

-Total Expense Ration (should be as low as possible)

-for ETFs: replication method (should be physical or sampling, NOT: synthetic)

-5 and particularly 10 year (= long term) performance, importantly with simultaneous mentioning of the benchmark index for direct comparison

-domicile (important b/o Taxes, f.ex. USA versus Ireland)​​​
