However, the majority of the studies I have seen show that front loads don’t outperform no-loads. The manager was very nice. I told her I reveiw everything thoroughly before I make up my mind. Although I have not reached a decision I’m leaning towards investing with a no load company, such as T. Rowe Price. I already have investments there. Whatever my decision I’m opting to put 20% of my pretax dollars into retirement.
