A back end loaded mutual fund charges investors a fee to sell (redeem) shares. The fees can range from 2% to 6% based on the actual fund. Some back ended load funds impose a full commission if the shares are sold within a designated length of time, such as one or two year. The commission is called the “contingent deferred sales charge” (CDSC).
