12B-1 Fund

    0.01 sec.
12B-1 Fund
A mutual fund that charges shareholders a small percentage of the fund's market value, instead of a load (or sales fee). That is, a 12B-1 Plan does not require shareholders to pay a fee when buying or selling shares; rather, they simply deduct what is owed to the shareholder once per year. Usually a 12B-1 plan charges less than 1%.

Lori Walsh's detailed study found that "12b-1 funds do experience higher annual net inflows than comparable non-12b-1 funds," but that, nevertheless, 12b-1 is not a cost-effective source of marketing payments for shareholders since "it would take decades of sustained growth at typical 12b-1 fund growth rates for a fund to be able to achieve sufficient scale economies to offset 12b-1 fees.
In general, 12b-1 funds have higher expense ratios and lower net investment returns than non-12b-1 funds.
