TMF Trades

There are three electronic methods available to avoid the $25 mutual fund trade fee when conducting T, M or F amount type orders:

  1. Advisor Access Web Trading
  2. Wire Orders
  3. TMF Trade Service

TMF Trade Service Information

Amount Type Definitions
  • T = Ten percent (10%) free. Units allowed to be redeemed not subject to DSC, and excluding matured units.
  • M = Matured units only
  • F = Free units not subject to DSC (also known as M+T free combined)
Eligible Funds

All mutual funds on the Eligible Funds list may be entered on the spreadsheet, except:

  1. Same fund matured unit switches for Mackenzie Investments (MFC funds) and Counsel Group of Funds (CGF funds).
    Note: The mutual fund trade fee will be waived for these trade types only if submitted with correct fund company documentation.
  2. Trades involving Money Maximizer (MRS001).
Cost

The mutual fund trade fee will not apply to this service, provided the minimum of 10 trades per spreadsheet is met. These fees are waived because they are processed by us electronically in bulk.

Should an advisor or dealer submit a spreadsheet with less than 10 trades, each trade will be subject to the $25 mutual fund paper trade fee.

 

 
Allowable Order Types
  • Switches - movement of units from one fund to another within the same fund management company
  • Sells - redemptions to cash

Note: The TMF Trade Service Spreadsheet cannot be used for any other Order Types
Compliance Requirements Submission of these trades implies that all compliance and regulatory requirements have been met by the Advisor and/or Dealer (i.e. full awareness and consent by clients to all trades)
Spreadsheet Requirements
  1. A minimum of 10 trades is required for each spreadsheet submitted.
  2. If the submitted spreadsheet contains less than 10 trades, each trade will be subject to the $25 mutual fund trade fee.
  3. The original spreadsheet template should not be altered in any way. Do not add other worksheets, columns or extraneous data.
  4. Only one spreadsheet should be submitted per email (see address below).
  5. Indicate dealer number. Only one dealer number can be used per spreadsheet, but it may consist of multiple advisor numbers within the same dealership.
  6. Indicate a contact name and number. We will use this contact information if there is a problem with processing your spreadsheet.
  7. Indicate the date when the spreadsheet is being submitted for processing. Spreadsheets received more than one business day after the date indicated will be rejected.
  8. Indicate the advisor code for each trade listed on the spreadsheet. Failure to do so will result in these trades being rejected.

Confirmation
  • An auto-reply email will be sent to sender’s email address to confirm receipt of spreadsheet.
  • We will contact the sender if there are deficiencies with the spreadsheet
  • We will initially attempt to execute orders electronically, however:
    • Trades rejected electronically by fund companies will be re-submitted manually, if applicable (the mutual fund trade fee will not be applied in these cases)
    • If the trade is still rejected by the fund company after it has been submitted manually, we will fax a rejection notice to the advisor or dealer

  • You may also call for instructions on how to proceed if you:
    • Are unsure if your spreadsheet has been received (i.e. you have not received a confirmation email)
    • Have made a mistake on your submitted spreadsheet and do not want us to proceed with the trade
Note: Do not resubmit your spreadsheet unless advised by the Trade Resolutions team
Special Notes
  • If Amount Type “D” (Dollars) is selected, do not indicate the dollar sign in the Amount column or change the cell to currency. Similarly, do not indicate any other symbol. Only indicate the amount.
  • If Trade Type “Sell” is selected, only indicate the requested fund code in the “From Fund” column. Do not indicate a fund code in the “To Fund” column.
  • If Trade Type “Switch” is selected, indicate the requested fund codes in both the “From Fund” and “To Fund” columns. Also, ensure that the fund codes are within the same fund management company.
  • If you have more than one active rep code, ensure that the code indicated corresponds with the client account number. Advisor codes that do not match the client account number will result in these trades being rejected.
Note: This spreadsheet cannot be used for Amount Type “All.” Only free unit Amount Types (T, M, F) or “D” and “S” (Dollars and Shares respectively) may be used.
