MFDA annual membership fees are equal to the MFDA fee rates multiplied by the average of the Member’s market value of all mutual funds reflected in client accounts (nominee and client name) of a Member located in all of the provinces and territories of Canada except Quebec (“AUA”). MFDA fee rates are established annually by the MFDA Board of Directors.
Membership fees will be pro-rated in the first year of membership based on the date of acceptance into membership. Upon acceptance into membership, the MFDA will calculate and invoice the pro-rated fee by multiplying the fee rate(s) by the AUA reported as of March 31st for the current year.
For subsequent years of membership, membership fees will be based on the average of the Member’s AUA balance at March 31st of the prior year and March 31st of the current year. Annual membership fees, for the period July 1st to June 30th, will be equal to the MFDA fee rate multiplied by the Member’s average AUA
