exchange privilege

The right to exchange shares in one mutual fund for shares in another fund managed by the same firm. The rate at which shares are exchanged is determined by differences in relative values. There is usually a nominal charge for each transfer. This privilege is designed to allow investors to move their money among funds without incurring additional sales fees as their investment goals change. Also called conversion privilege.
