You do not pay Rainmaker any fees, nor do you pay Rainmaker annual management fees (MERs) for assets under management (AUM). Rainmaker provides high quality services to help you make successful investing decisions.
Rainmaker receives a selling compensation when you purchases an investment. The selling compensation is not paid by you and does not reduce your invested amount. The selling compensation is considered to be a part of the operating expenses for each issuer who manages an investment. The respective investment documents for each investment will disclose the selling compensation.
As stated above, Rainmaker does not charge client fees, however, each investment may have fees which will be disclosed in their offering documents.
Some examples are:
- Annual management fee which is not charged directly to you but rather is calculated against the net asset values of the fund. These fees on average could range from 0% to 2% annually.
- Front-end commissions, paid by the issuer upon purchase, and are based on the value of the investment. Typically these range from 0% to 8% depending on the investment. Front-end investments typically carry a redemption schedule which could incur early redemption penalties.
- Trailing commissions which are an on-going commission that is paid by the Issuer and is based on the value of the investment. Typically ranging from 0% to 1.0% depending on the chosen investment.
Actual fees, rates, structures and redemption schedules vary. Please feel free to ask us and refer to the offering documents for each specific investment which you are investing in.
