Fund's Investment Strategy: The specific assets the fund invests in (stocks, bonds, real estate) and its investment approach impact performance and perceived risk, influencing demand and price.

Expense Ratio: Higher expense ratios can detract from returns, making the fund less attractive compared to lower-cost alternatives, impacting its price.
