BACK-END LOAD FUND


Meaning of BACK-END LOAD FUND in English

A mutual fund that charges investors a fee to sell (redeem) shares , often ranging from 4% to 6%. Some back-end load funds impose a full commission if the shares are redeemed within a designated time, such as one year. The commission decreases the longer the investor holds the shares. The formal name for the back-end load is the contingent deferred sales charge, or C.D.S.C.
