Manage Variable Group Rate Fees

Retail management fees allow you to calculate a daily expense using a combination of a fixed individual fee rate and a variable group fee rate that uses month-to-date average net assets. You can use the Variable Group Rate Fee panels to set up and maintain variable group rate fees.

The group fee rate is a fixed rate, and does not allow you to add multiple rates in tiers.
