Guest NAdministrator Posted June 8, 2000 Posted June 8, 2000 A participant is charged a front-end load each time he makes a repayment on his participant loan. The question is, is this legal?
bzorc Posted June 8, 2000 Posted June 8, 2000 As far as I know, that is acceptable. However, why won't the mutual fund company waive the load fee? I have seen them waive the load if you can commit to so many dollars going into the fund over a period of time (the American Funds work that way). It may be worth a call to the fund company to see why they are charging load fees.
Jon Chambers Posted June 8, 2000 Posted June 8, 2000 Alternately, if there are any no-load funds available through the plan, the participant could change investment elections to direct loan repayments to an unloaded fund. In more general terms, I agree with bzorc. There is no reason to be paying loads in a qualified plan in today's environment. In fact, it's probably a breach of cost control responsibility on the part of the fiduciaries to permit participants to be paying loads. ------------------ Jon C.
