In this episode you will learn: - Class A shares are for long-term investors with large investment amounts due to front-end loads and breakpoint discounts. - Class B shares are suitable for long-term investors with smaller investment amounts, featuring a back-end load (CDSC) that declines over time. - Class C shares are best for short-term investors because of their ongoing high 12b-1 fees, despite having little or no front-end load. - How to use a Letter of Intent (LOI) or Rights of Accumulation (ROA) to help clients qualify for breakpoint discounts on Class A shares. - The importance of comparing the total costs of each share class over a client's specific investment time horizon to determine suitability.
