Commission Recapture

Custom analysis, online tools and detailed compliance reporting

An Effective and Transparent Tool

Commission recapture is an effective, transparent tool to help plan sponsors and investment companies lower expenses, reduce commissions, and control transaction costs. With a commitment to providing the most comprehensive commission recapture program in the industry, CAPIS offers tailored reports, flexible online tools, superior client service, and compliance support to help you understand and manage your commissions.

What is Commission Recapture?

Commission recapture is a discounting mechanism for institutional brokerage transactions. In a commission recapture program, a portion of the commissions generated by the fund’s assets are returned directly to the fund or used to lower overall expenses, such as custody fees and consultant fees.
