        “16.2 Fund of Funds Calculation

        1. For the purposes of subparagraph 16.1(1)(a)(i), the total expenses of a mutual fund that invests in securities of one or more other mutual funds is equal to the sum of:
          1. the total expenses incurred by the mutual fund that are for the period that the calculation of management expense ratio is made and that are attributable to its investment in each underlying mutual fund, as calculated by
            1. multiplying the total expenses of each underlying mutual fund, before income taxes, for the period, by
            2. the average proportion of securities of the underlying mutual fund held by the mutual fund during the period, calculated by
              1. adding together the proportion of securities of the underlying mutual fund held by the mutual fund on each day in the period, and
              2. dividing the amount obtained under clause (A) by the number of days in the period; and
          2. the total expenses of the mutual fund, before income taxes, for the period.
        2. A mutual fund that has exposure to one or more other mutual funds through the use of specified derivatives in a financial year shall calculate its management expense ratio for the financial year in the manner described in subsection (1), treating each mutual fund to which it has exposure as an “underlying mutual fund” under subsection (1).
        3. Subsection (2) does not apply if the specified derivatives do not expose the mutual fund to expenses that would be incurred by a direct investment in the relevant mutual funds.
        4. Despite subsection 16.1(5), management fees rebated by an underlying fund to a mutual fund that invests in the underlying fund shall be deducted from total expenses of the underlying fund if the rebate is made for the purpose of avoiding duplication of fees between the two mutual funds.”.
