the devil is in the details -- when you go from the A class shares to the D class shares the sales load does fall to zero -- but there is another disadvantage as far as how "gains are allocated" across the shares or something like that -- you need to read the prospectus before investing is all. I remember that PIMCO is quite clear as to why the front-end sales fees step down across the shares -- it's not a "free lunch" sort of thing -- there is a reason. Anyway, I looked at investing in them at one time and decided against it -- perhaps it has done alright anyway?? The PIMCO site give performance with loads taken into account. Difference might be "share of income?"
