Definition
Under DSC, the dealer was paid an upfront commission by the fund manager and the client paid no upfront fee but faced declining redemption charges (typically 5-6% in year 1, dropping to 0 over 6-7 years). The CSA banned new DSC sales effective June 1, 2022. Existing DSC schedules continue until they expire.
