Number Of Mutual Fund Share Classes Boggles The Mind
Agree that AF goes nuts with the # of share classes. However, they run pretty good funds with low recurring costs ... I hold several of them both in taxable and retirement accounts.
I'd like them even more if they nixed the 12(b)-1 fee and insane front end loads, though. If I knew then what I know now about OEFs, I'd probably not have bought them. But those front end costs are more than paid for now.
