Preferred Pricing
With AGF preferred pricing, qualified investors can access a broad range of AGF investment options, at a lower cost.
Overview
Qualified investors can access preferred pricing on a broad range of AGF investment solutions. Investors simply place and maintain a minimum of $100,000 per fund or at least $250,000 in aggregate when combining household assets from family members residing at the same address.
For AGF Gold Label, management fees (for Series Q and W) as well as advisory service fees (for Series Q only) will be taken out directly from client accounts and documented in client statements. For other embedded fee series, a discount is provided in the form of reinvested units or shares.
Benefits
- Easily accessible - Preferred pricing at low introductory minimums with the ability to qualify through household account aggregation.
- Growth Rewards - Tiered management fees that offer further reductions at $250,000, $500,000, $1 million and $3 million asset levels.
- Wide Selection - A broad range of investment solutions, including corporate class options, are available across all mutual funds and portfolios
How it Works
Investors must place and maintain either:
- A minimum of $100,000 per fund OR
- Aggregate household assets of at least $250,000
As investors continue to grow and accumulate wealth AGF preferred pricing solutions provide additional opportunities for fee savings.

3Once an investor reaches the minimum $100K threshold, the entire investment starting from the first dollar is subject to the tier 1 discount for both Gold Label and MFRs.
4As each new price threshold is met, every dollar above the tier threshold will receive the additional discount. As a result, investors with over $250K invested will begin to receive a blended effective rate that is driven by the book value of invested assets and the percentage allocated to each tier.
