- All other things being equal, if I'm trying to decide between two
- mutual funds, A and B, whose total annual fund operating expenses
- are the same, but fund A doesn't charge 12b-1 Fees, whereas fund B
- does, is there any reason to prefer A over B or vice-versa? That is,
- as an investor, am I only interested in to bottom line operating
- expenses (which already include any 12b-1 fees, if any), or does the
- presence of 12b-1 fees have some hidden sinister consequences?
-
- thanks for the info,
