Cost-bridge calculator
What tokenization saves your fund in costs.
A quick bottom-up estimate as a range instead of a blanket percentage. Two inputs are enough for the order of magnitude.
In brief
The saving potential of tokenized funds sits in distribution and settlement costs: the transfer agent, retrocessions and reconciliation effort. How large the lever is depends on the fund type and the distribution model. The calculator shows a rough range; the robust figure is produced in the readiness assessment.
Your key figures
Your annual saving potential
A range of 36 to 69% of this fund’s current distribution and settlement costs. This is a potential, not a fixed value and not a guarantee.
How it adds up
- Transfer agent fees€56,250 to €190,000
Largely eliminated when subscription, register checks and holdings are processed directly in the tokenized architecture.
- Retrocessions and trail commissions€150,000 to €731,250
Partial reduction where digital distribution requires fewer classic remuneration stations. Strongly dependent on the distribution model.
- Reconciliation and operational matching€10,000 to €65,000
Less reconciliation because KYC status, subscription, settlement and holdings reference a shared data base.
Reference base: addressable distribution and settlement costs — not the TER and not total fund costs. The robust figure for your organisation is produced in the readiness assessment.

Frequently asked
The key questions at a glance.
How reliable is the result?
It is a rough bottom-up estimate with indicative assumptions, deliberately expressed as a range. It does not replace a full model. The robust figure for your organisation is produced in the readiness assessment.
What do the percentages refer to?
To the fund’s addressable distribution and settlement costs — that is, transfer agent, retrocessions and reconciliation. Not to the TER and not to total costs.
Why is the figure lower for a special AIF?
Because the biggest lever sits in retail distribution. Without retrocessions there is less left for tokenized settlement to save.
