How to calculate iPower Account monthly account fee?



  1. The monthly account fee is charged with reference to the daily portfolio value (subject to a minimum fee of HKD100 (save as otherwise specified herein)). It is calculated and accrues on each calendar day, and payable monthly in arrears. The monthly account fee starts to accrue from the date on which fund holdings are first recorded in the iPower Account, but the minimum fee stated above does not apply to that calendar month. Where the daily portfolio value is zero in the whole calendar month, the minimum fee stated above does not apply to that calendar month (irrespective of whether any fund holdings were recorded in the previous month(s)).
  2. The daily portfolio value is the sum total of the market value of all current fund holdings under the customer's iPower Account in a calendar day. For fund(s) denominated in non-HKD, the HKD equivalent of the market value is calculated based on the exchange rate as determined by the Bank.
  3. The monthly account fee (in respect of a calendar day) is calculated based on this formula: Daily Portfolio Value x applicable Account Fee Rate.
  4. The accrued monthly account fee (in respect of a calendar month) is the sum total of all the daily account fees for the month. (Refer to the illustrative example below.)
  5. Unless otherwise specified, the actual amount of monthly account fee payable shall be the accrued account fee so calculated, or the minimum monthly account fee specified in note 1 above, whichever is higher.
  6. You can check the “Daily Portfolio Value” and calculate the monthly account fee for the current month online with ease. Please refer to the relevant Integrated Account monthly statement for the actual monthly account fee being deducted.

Remarks:
1
The single monthly account fee for the iPower Account covers fund subscriptions and switching handling fees, and is charged with reference to the portfolio value (subject to a minimum fee of HKD100). It is calculated and accrued on each calendar day, and payable monthly in arrears. Where the daily portfolio value is zero in the whole calendar month, the minimum fee stated above does not apply to that calendar month (irrespective of whether any fund holdings were recorded in the previous month(s)). Customers should note that an account administration fee as charged by the Bank applies in certain circumstances. Please click here for details of the fees and charges. In addition, for fund subscription and switching, while you are not required to pay the subscription fee and the switching handling fee, you may be required to pay redemption fees and/or other fees (if any) charged by the relevant fund house(s).

For transfer-out of fund holdings from the iPower Account to another account (held with the Bank or otherwise), if the period between the date of settlement of the last fund subscription or switching-in transaction via the iPower Account and the date of the Bank's receipt of the transfer-out instruction is less than 1 year, an account administration fee will apply. An amount equivalent to such fee held in the HKD savings account under the relevant integrated account will be withheld upon the Bank's receipt of the transfer-out instruction, and will be debited upon successful execution of the transfer-out instruction. For fund(s) denominated in non-HKD, the HKD equivalent of the prevailing market value is calculated based on the exchange rate as determined by the Bank.
3
If the period between the date of settlement of the last fund subscription or switching-in transaction via the iPower Account and the Bank's reference date of account closure (for whatever reason) is less than 1 year, an account administration fee will apply.
