Nordea Bank Abp, filial i Norge (Nordea) offers savings and investment solutions from Nordea's associated company Nordea Funds Ltd, or other external management companies, for which it receives a fee (a share of the subscription fee and management fee) from the fund company.
Nordea has an obligation to inform about fees, commissions and non-monetary incentives paid or received in connection with the distribution of funds.
Nordea has a distribution agreement with Nordea Funds Ltd and several other external fund managers for the distribution of their funds in the Norwegian market.
For its sale of mutual funds the bank receives a fee from Nordea Funds Ltd and other external fund managers. The fee enables Nordea i.a. to carry out analyses of and give information and advice about securities funds. The fee is a percentage share of the management fee paid by the unit holder and does not imply any extra cost for you as customer.
For funds managed by Nordea Funds Ltd the fee is 50 per cent of the management fee and for funds managed by other, external managers the fee is between 0 and 88 per cent of the management fee.
Example of how the fee is apportioned
If you buy units for NOK 10,000 in a securities fund managed by Nordea Funds Ltd and the fund charges an annual management fee of 1.2 per cent, the apportionment will be as follows:
- The management fee you as a customer will pay is NOK 120 per year (10,000 x 1.2 per cent = NOK 120). The distribution fee to Nordea will be NOK 60 (NOK 120 x 50 per cent = 60). The distribution fee does not imply any extra cost for you as a customer.
