You invest in a mutual fund that charges a 3% front-end load, 1% total annual fees, and a 0% back-end load on class a shares. the same fund charges a 0% front-end load, 1% total annual fees, and a 2% back-end load on class b shares. what are the total fees in year 1 on a class b investment of $20,000 if you redeem shares with no growth in value?

Total Fees = $600

Explanation:

A Mutual Fund is a type of investment that pools funds from many individual investors into a singular investment product.

The fund is managed by a Fund Manager. The Fund Manager applies charges to the fund. The charges are income to the Fund Manager.

Front-end load: This is more like a Sales charge applied on the investment amount at the point of buying into the Fund.

Back-end load: This charge is applied on the redemption amount. It is meant to discourage the investor from withdrawing early form the Fund.

Annual fees: This are yearly charge applied on the investment amount.

Calculation:

Front-end load: $0 [Because the rate is 0%]

Back-end load:[2% of 20000] × 20000 = $400

Annual Charge: [1% of 20000] × 20000 = $200

Total Fees: [$400 + $200] =  $600.

i'ts proportional. if the inflation rate is 12% for example, the cpi will be 12% less.
