How the Rebates Work

2020 DIRECTINVEST offer 100% rebate of entry fees on managed funds, super and pension funds and up to 100% rebate on sales commissions.

Application forms from the 2020 DIRECTINVEST website contain our dealer stamp for entry fee and commission rebates. The type of rebate we offer depends on the type of commission paid by the fund manager. Rebates vary from product to product and we will disclose this to you on the product web page. Find out How to Invest.


Types of commissions paid to financial advisers

Entry fees

An entry fee is an upfront fee deducted from your initial investment and additional investments.

Entry fees reduce the actual amount of money invested.

Entry fee rebates offer investors the opportunity to maximise their investments.
Sales fees / commissions

Sales commissions are paid from the fund manager's own resources each time you invest.  

Sales commissions have no impact on actual money invested.

Sales fee rebates are essentially an opportunity to receive a discount on your investment.
