What are No Load Mutual Funds?

By Terry K. Venova

What do you do when you want to invest but you no nothing about choosing and investing in stocks or bonds? Simple, you invest in mutual funds. Mutual funds are a way to invest in a wide variety of stocks, bonds, and/or other investments, without having to spend the time or needing the expertise to research.

How does a mutual fund work? First, anyone who invests in the fund pools their money together. Then, a fund manager takes the money and invests it into all different investments that they have researched carefully. The fund manager does all the research and diversification work for you.

Not all mutual funds are created equally. Some have fees, and some don't. Load mutual funds charge you a fee because they feel they can earn you a higher than average return and that you should pay for it.

If you invest in a load fund, you will be charged an amount of what you earn. For instance, if they charge 3 percent and the fund returns 9 percent, you will get a total of 6 percent in return.

No load mutual funds do not charge you a commission fee. If you earn 10 percent on your investment, you receive 10 percent on your investment. This is what makes no load mutual funds that much more appealing.

Are load mutual funds superior to no load funds because they charge a fee? Nobody can guarantee a higher return. The stock market is all up to chance and to say this is misleading. Honestly, even if they are able to earn a higher than average return, the fee will probably just cancel it out anyway.

If you invest in no load funds, you get the entire return, which can mean more money. If you really think a load fund can earn you more, than go for it. Otherwise, it might just not be worth it.

Which type of mutual fund should you choose? Do your research into different funds and put some thought into it. Don't jump into it. Take some time to choose which fund type to invest in. - 23212
