Were can I find information on transactional structures in funds?

Answer 1

Click on the small print.

And then, click, and click, and click some more.

Some of the mutual funds really hide their fees deep within their documents. It took me quite a while to find the fees Fidelity and Vanguard would charge me if I withdrew my money in less than like four years from when I invested it there.

Be careful. Most mutual funds are not in the business of making investors money. They are in the business of not losing huge amounts of money. They are in the business of collecting fees.

Anyways, hope I was able to answer your question!

Answer 2

yada yada yada might be exagerating just a tad. The propectus of the fund should have all the information that you require. You can down load it at the fund web site. yada is certainly correct on one point. Most mutual funds have a fee for early withdrawal of funds--non front end load funds. Some are 30 days and some are 90 days and some may even be longer. Some front end loaded funds have different plans that include back end loads.

Closed end funds are traded like stocks, but they do have expenses that are similar to open ended funds.
