Assign an Adjusted NAV Expense Rule to a Variable Expense

After you define adjusted NAV expense rules, you can assign an adjusted NAV expense rule to a variable expense when you create or edit the variable expense. You can also remove the adjusted NAV expense rule assigned to a variable expense. 

You can assign adjusted NAV expense rules only for variable expenses defined at the total fund level. You can assign an adjusted NAV expense rule to a variable expense that has an underlying dollar-based NAV component of Prior Day Total Net Assets, Adjusted Net Assets, Average Net Assets. You must assign an adjusted NAV expense rule to a variable expense that has an underlying NAV component of Ledger Based. You cannot assign an adjusted NAV expense rule to a variable expense that has an underlying NAV component of Current Date Outstanding Share, Current Day Settled Shares, or User Defined NAV.
