Hi John, Those annual fees are "stealth" fees typical of mutual funds. It accounts as a real annual drop in Net Asset Value during the course of the year. It doesn't show up on any statement and isn't deductible on your tax forms either (to my knowledge).

In a flat market, a No Load with a high annual fee might be as expensive as a Low Load fund with a very cheap annual fee. Best is No Load with very low annual fees! In the early days of Sector Funds, there were some amazingly high annual fees (2.5%/year) along with the usual commission front end loads. They are worth watching in more typically moderate markets or in down trending markets.

Best regards, Tom

Best regards, Tom
