No Load Mutual Funds Vanguard

May 11, 2008

The no load mutual funds vanguard has are really good for investing in. The great thing is Vanguard already has very low cost so buying one of their no load mutual funds Vanguard. These no load mutual funds have nice benefits that go with them. What are some of them? Well in particular the Vanguard no load mutual funds work just like other no load mutual funds. This means you don’t get charged the front end or back end commission that load funds charge. With a no load mutual funds you don’t get any money taken off the top. A lot of people prefer these funds.

If a no load mutual fund and a load mutual fund have the same annual return with the same fee schedule, than the no load mutual fund will out perform. Think of it this way some load funds charge a 3% to 6% commission up front. So if you invest $10,000 in a front end mutual fund then you will only actually be investing $9,400 if you are charged the 6% commission. You are already starting off with a loss. This issue doesn’t happen with the no load mutual funds vanguard has.

Now a lot of times no load funds like the ones vanguard has outperform but sometimes a load fund can be worth it. How can this be? Well if the load fund has good returns every year it can make up for the disadvantage of charging you a commission. If a load mutual fund returns 20% each year and a no load fund such as Vanguards only returns 10% a year you will be better in the long run with the load. But most often then not no load funds which Vanguard has will out perform load ones.
