Introduction to Mutual Fund Sales Loads
Sales charges are important to consider when you buy mutual fund shares. They can affect the value of your investment in a number of ways. Sales charges, fees, and commissions pay for services to investors. You shouldn’t pay for services you do not need. On the other hand, if you do need investment advice or services, you need to consider the value of these services to you and which method of payment best suits your needs.
