Fund Management Decisions: The investment strategies, asset allocation, and stock-picking abilities of the fund managers directly impact the fund's returns and, consequently, its price.

Expense Ratio & Fees: The fund's operational costs, including management fees, administrative expenses, and other charges, are deducted from the fund's assets, influencing the overall return and price.
