yeap..

7% means 9% gain after -2% SC
Simplified yes correct, but mathematically wrong

Assuming your 7% gain is ROI - means that if I invest RM1000, I get RM70 profit = 7% ROI.
Sample --> Sales charge at 2%Purchase NAV Price = RM1.00 per units. Total units held = 980.39 (after deducting 2% SC). Valued at RM980.39.
Current NAV Price = RM1.0914 per units. Total units held = 980.39. Valued at RM1,070.00.
Profit = RM70.00. ROI = 7%.
However, if we were to assume there was NO SALES CHARGE with the purchase of the same fund, with the same unit price increments....
Sample 2 ---> Sales charge at 0%Purchase NAV Price = RM1.00 per units. Total units held = 1000.00 (no SC). Valued at RM1,000.00.
Current NAV Price = RM1.0914 per units. Total units held = 1000.00. Valued at RM1,091.40 .
Profit = RM91.40. ROI = 9.14%.
So I don't think you can directly +2% on your nett ROI.
And then again, there's no logic to deduct out the SC and include it as your gain because
it is not your gain to begin with. It's a "fee / additional surcharges" incurred for investing. My point being, they've already calculated the nett profit for you, why you want to convert it back to "gross profit" again?
