Mutual Fund Trails

Jan 23, 2010 10:09 pm

I’m finding some C shares will start paying trails in the next quarter but many will wait a year until they start paying.

  Which mutual funds start paying trails immediately and which ones don't?

I always thought all C shares paid 1% and then a trail after 1 year.   Most pay .5 to 1% in trails.



If there are C shares that pay 1% upfront and 1% immediately as a trail…please pass that info along!

As far as i know, the fund families that pay immediate trails, like Legg Mason, dont pay anything up front. Also dont have back end cdsc

I’ve found Ivy and BlackRock pays 1% upfront and 1% immediately quarterly so .25%

  Yeah you have no idea what you are talking about... Ivy pays 1% up front on C shares then quarterly starting in 13 month...   Now they may pay immediately on A shares, but not on C.

  Wow, I guess I use the other Blackrock and IVY funds.  Mine pay 1% upfront and 1% after a year.

Well that’s I asked the friggin question dumfk.  I’m sitting here looking at my commission report with Black Rock C share mutual fund trails from mutual funds I sold 3 months ago.  I’ve never used black rock funds in the past.  You think I should give the trails back?

Depending on what firm you are with it is possible that your firm holds the 1% and gives it to you in quarters for the first year… If not state your fund…

Hartford, I think?

Do we have any confirmation on any of these funds ? There is no way a C share pays you 1% and immediate trails. If so, I am in !! I don’t care if its Putnam !! LOL!

Yeah we have confirmation… It doesn’t happen, unless they raise the CDSC to 2%… which they wouldn’t because then funds would have 2.5-3.5% fees.
