So Q's

Is it as follows

Option 1

??% commission -year 1 only? what commision is there?
-1.5% AMC -year 1
-1.5% AMC -year 2
-1.5% AMC -year 3
-1.5% AMC -year 4
-1.5% AMC -year 5
Total Charges = 7.5% + ? commision

There are exit charges - Early Exit Penalties: 5% in year 1, 4% in year 2, 3% in year 3, 2% in year 4 and 1% in year 5.
There is a 2% extra allocation?

Option 2
5000 investment
-?% commission -year 1 only? what commision is there?
-1.5% AMC -year 1 - Is there +0.25% extra charge each year cos it's a Geared fund
-1.5% AMC -year 2
