At a glance: Desjardins Funds' newly reduced management fees
On July 9th, 2018, Desjardins Investments (DI) is lowering management fees on 6 Desjardins Funds, across the majority of the classes of funds currently offered. These reductions are in addition to those announced for 32 funds in January of this year.
In doing this, DI reaffirms its commitment to delivering great investment value to Desjardins Funds investors. These changes highlight an acceleration of improvements as they are the third wave of management fee reductions since 2016.
Highlights:
- Management fees will be cut by as much as 29 basis points for certain funds.
- All investors will benefit, regardless of the amount invested (subject to applicable minimums).
- These savings will be wholly passed on to investors and will therefore help them improve their returns.
