The MER (Management Expense Ratio) is a measure of the fees relating to investments. These fees include the cost of the Fund’s investment managers, custodian and investment advisors and any other costs relating to the investment of assets of the Fund. The MER is the total of the investment related costs, divided by the net asset value of the Fund. These fees are deducted directly from the investment returns before they are applied to your account. These fees are therefore not deducted from your account directly.
The Member Benefit Protection Fee covers the cost to protect members with low account balances. It is deducted from investment returns before being applied to your account. This fee varies from year to year, depending on the number of accounts with balances of less than $1,000.
Other common Fund deductions, as well as fees and charges that may apply are described on our Fees and Charges page.
