How much you save

How much you save by using DIOA depends on whether the investment manager allows the initial commission to be applied to further investment for you and whether initial fees are reduced if the commission is rebated. As the example shows, you can save as much as 5% of the funds you invest. 

Savings that you can make are demonstrated in the table below...
