Prestige preferential pricing gives you access to reduced management fees so you can earn higher returns on your investments.
iA Financial Group offers two levels of fee reduction, depending on your asset balance:
Prestige 300You benefit from Prestige level 300 pricing as soon as the total value of your assets equals or exceeds $300,000.
Prestige 500If your assets total $500,000 or more, you'll qualify for level 500 pricing, with even lower management fees.
To make it easier to meet these eligibility thresholds, you can create a family grouping to combine your assets with those of your family members who reside at the same address. Each member will benefit from reduced fees associated with the Prestige level reached (300 or 500)—an advantage you can even share with other members of your extended family, regardless of their place of residence and asset level.

FAQ
Can I create a group myself?
The grouping must be created and modified with your advisor’s assistance.
What family relationships are accepted for membership in a group?
All family relationships are accepted. However, only the assets of family members who reside at the same address as the group owner will qualify for the $300,000 or $500,000 thresholds.
Once the group is created, Prestige pricing can be shared with all family members, regardless of their asset level or place of residence. The fee reduction will be based on the level reached by the group (Prestige 300 or Prestige 500).
Does my brother’s roommate, who is his best friend, qualify?
No, because he is not a family member.
Does my cousin’s son who lives in another province qualify?
Yes, the family relationship is the only criterion. Distance does not matter.
If I want to create a group with my partner, do we have to be married to do so?
No, you do not have to be married to create a grouping. You only need to be partners.
What happens if the value of the group falls below $300,000 or $500,000?
If the value of your assets falls below the eligibility thresholds due to a market downturn, you will continue to benefit from your current level of Prestige pricing.
However, if your asset level drops due to one or more redemptions, you and the members of your group may no longer qualify for Prestige pricing.
You can qualify again as soon as the value of your assets returns to the required eligibility thresholds. Your financial advisor will be happy to discuss your options with you.
Can the corporate contracts of the shareholders named in the resolution of a contracting company be taken into consideration?
Yes, the assets of a company can be considered for a family group, provided that a member of the group is named in the company's shareholder resolution.
