    10 years ago, Felipe opened a registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) account and purchased a mutual fund. The mutual fund purchased included a 7-year deferred sales charge (DSC). At the time of making his investment, him and his Dealing Representative agreed that he had a 25-year growth objective. Since Felipe knew that he was not planning to use his investment until he retired, he was not concerned about the DSC. Although the rate of return did vary from year-to-year, he never noticed his mutual fund having a drop in value. This gave Felipe more confidence in the investment. As a result, he has never made any changes to his investment.
