4.1 Load Groups

This topic provides information on load groups.

The AMC may need to group funds together based on common load and transaction processing characteristics, such as the same loads being applied to transactions in all funds in the group, or applicability of certain preferences maintained for investors.

Such a group of funds, which entail common load or transaction processing characteristics, are called load groups.

This is typical in the case of loads that are cumulative across funds (such as in the case of Rights of Accumulation), and also load patterns for Letter of Intent investors. This is also typical in the case of loads that are applied to funds that form part of a investment product or policy (plan) portfolio.
