No-load Funds Versus Loaded Funds: Which Should You Use?

 

Buying a no-load mutual fund is similar to buying a house without a real estate agent. You have to do your own homework, but you don't have to pay a commission.

Buying a loaded mutual fund is similar to buying a house with the help of a real estate agent. You have the real estate agent available to help you, but you have to pay a commission. As with a stock broker, the real estate agent gets paid only if a sale is made, so it's in their best interests to make a sale, even if the house or mutual fund in question is not a good fit for you.

So it comes down to a simple question: do you need help in choosing and buying a mutual fund? We think most people do need help, and that's why we have several model portfolios comprised of mutual funds. We recommend no-load funds because if you follow one of our model portfolios, you won't need a full-service stock broker to help you. And by using our services instead of a broker, you get independent investment advice that is free of conflicts of interest.
