Purchase Through Third Party Dealers

Our funds are available through a number of dealers and discount brokers. Note, however, that you may be charged a fee by the dealer for purchasing or redeeming our funds. Unfortunately, we do not have any control over which institutions offer our funds or the fees they may charge you. Please note that Steadyhand does not charge any administration or transaction fees. Any charges you may incur when buying or selling our funds through a third party are entirely at the discretion of your dealer.

If you're interested in purchasing our funds through a specific dealer, it's best to contact them directly to confirm availability and fees, as discount brokerages' policies change frequently.

The same minimum investment requirements apply to all purchases. Accounts held through dealers are eligible for our Fee Reduction Program, but multiple accounts within the same household cannot be consolidated for fee reduction purposes, as they are if held directly with Steadyhand.

For purchases made through discount brokers, our fund codes are as follows:
  • Steadyhand Savings Fund - SIF110
  • Steadyhand Income Fund - SIF120
  • Steadyhand Founders Fund - SIF125
  • Steadyhand Builders Fund - SIF128
  • Steadyhand Equity Fund - SIF130
  • Steadyhand Global Equity Fund - SIF140
  • Steadyhand Small-Cap Equity Fund - SIF150
  • Steadyhand Global Small-Cap Equity Fund - SIF160
