Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FYI: Back in September, the SEC fined First Eagle Investment Management some $40 million for, according to an SEC statement, “…inappropriately [using] money belonging to the shareholders of the funds to pay for services clearly intended to market and distribute the shares.” Regards, Ted http://www.thinkadvisor.com/2016/01/13/whats-up-with-12b-1-fees?t=mutual-funds
