That is, a back-end load fund carries a sales fee that a shareholder only pays when he/she sells shares in that mutual fund within a certain number of years. When an investor initially buys a share in a back-end load fund, he/she agrees to pay a third party (usually a financial institution or broker) a certain percentage of the share's value if he/she decides to sell it within five to 10 years, depending on the specific nature of the agreement. The amount of the load usually declines by the year until the maximum number of years is reached. See also: B-share. |
