* In case of Government employees, CRA charges are being paid by the respective Governments.
International Organisation of Pension Supervisors (IOPS) in its Working Paper 6 “Comparison of Costs + Fees in Countries with Private Defined Contribution Pension Systems” published by Denise Gomez Hernandez and Fiona Stewart had introduced the concept of “Charge Ratio” and “Equivalent Asset Fee” for enabling standardized international comparison of fees due to existence of diversity of charges across countries.
“Charge Ratio” measures the impact that any type of administrative charge can have on the final balance (after 25 or 40 years) of an individual retirement account compared to the hypothetical balance that could be obtained if no administrative fees were charged at all.
“Equivalent Asset Fee” is the annualized charge over assets which would have generated exactly the same final asset accumulation as the actual combination of charges on flows entering the individual account, on the accumulated assets and on the returns applied to the individual retirement account as well as any entry or exit charges applied to an individual retirement account during a certain period of time.
