Mutual funds can effectively charge sales fees in one of three ways: front-end load fees, 12b-1 (annual) fees, or deferred (back-end) load fees. Assume that the SAS Fund offers its investors the choice of the following sales fee arrangements: (1) a 3 percent front-end load, (2) a 0.50 percent annual deduction, or (3) a 2 percent back-end load, paid at the liquidation of the investor's position. Also, assume that SAS Fund averages NAV growth of 12 percent per year. If you start with $100,000 in investment capital, calculate what an investment in SAS would be worth in three years under each of the proposed sales fee schemes. Which scheme would you choose? If your investment horizon were 10 years, would your answer in part (a) change? Demonstrate.
Mutual funds charge their clients an “expense ratio” for managing yourfunds. A 1.5% annual expense ratio is common in the mutual fund industry.Suppose you invest $100,000 into a fund with a 1.5% expense ratio and leave it invested for 40 years. If you have a personal MARR of 6% per year, your future worth (less the expense ratio) will be $100,000 (1 – 0.015)(F/P, 6%, 40) = 1,013,141. If you invest instead in an exchange traded fund (ETF) that has an expense ratio of 0.1% per year, you will end up with F = $100,000 (1 – 0.001)(F/P, 6%, 40) = $1,027,541 which is $14,400 more than the mutual fund. Moral: Be mindful of expenses being levied on your savings vehicles (e.g., an individual retirement account) for retirement savings. How much will you have in 40 years if the expense ratio is 3.5% per year?
You have $15,000 to invest in a mutual fund. You choose a fund with a 3.5 percent front load, a 1.75 percent management fee, and a 0.5 percent 12b-1 fee.

What was your net annual rate of return to the nearest basis point? a. 9.97% b. 6.12% c. 9.25% d. 5.42% e. 8.56%
Investor Matt has $661,000 to invest in a CD and a mutual fund. The CD yields 7.3% and the mutual fund yields an average of 7.7%. The mutual fund requires a minimum investment of $20,000, and Matt requires that at least 4 times as much money be invested in the CD as in the mutual fund. You must invest in order to maximize his return. What is the maximum return? Enter 0 if no investment can be made satisfying the requirements. $ . Round to the nearest cent.

How much should be invested in CDs and how much in the mutual fund to maximize the return? What is the maximum return?
