Finnish term or phrase: Merkintäpalkkio
Context: Salkunhoitajalla on oikeus periä merkintäpalkkio.

Term is used in a financial agreement. It is a fee that the Portfolio Manager has a right to collect, but I can't quite find a good translation for it. I would appreciate your help!

subscription fee OR front-end load
Explanation:
The use of the term varies depending on the context. Perhaps just a plain subscription fee is in place in a text that describes the transaction in general. Another alternative for the word fee might also be charge, if it adds to the clarity of the text.
Hope this helps.

Thanks to both of you. Both of the terms actually work but subscription fee seemed to be what the client was looking for in this context.

  -> Yes, subscription fee is good but it is ambiguous as it usually refers to a purchased subscription
