    Investing in mutual funds offers a structured and diversified approach to building wealth, managed by professional fund managers. While there are costs and some limitations, the benefits of diversification, professional management, and ease of access make mutual funds a popular choice for achieving a variety of financial goals.

    The caller was asking if paying an up-front commission defined as a "load" was a bad thing compared to no load (no upfront commission). Dave explained that 5.75% is not necessarily bad, but you should do the math and compare the total cost of ownership over the anticipated holding period. If you change funds a lot, paying a 5.75% fee every time would not make sense. If you hold a A-share (commission to buy product) Mutual funds for a long time, the total cost of ownership will generally be lower than funds with no upfront commission but a higher management fee (he calls it a "maintenance fee"). Some fee only advisors assert that commission based funds are bad and unethical. They aren't as long as the advisor has shown you the other options including C shares or a managed portfolio. Just don't buy mutual funds and pay a management fee on top of it. That is really expensive.

    Dave is great until you are out of debt and have enough money to invest. Then stop listening to him. The index funds have commissions at .1%-.3% and no up front commissions. Under no scenario would a 5.75% load fund beat that. On top of that, there's so much evidence that index funds are the much better way to invest than actively managed funds over the long run. Lots of research.

    Invest in low-cost Index funds and stay the course. A good total market or S&P 500 Index fund + a good bond fund for your appropriate risk level is all you need, both with low fees. Vanguard comes to mind first. I like Dave's preaching about staying OUT of debt, because in general... Debt is bad. But if you're really interested in learning about the market and how it works, there's no shortage of amazing books out there that will help guide you on your journey to become wealthy. Dave Ramsey preaches a great message, but he's no Bogle or Buffett when it comes to the stock market...

Also, what is stoping people from putting in the minimum amount (let's just say 3000), paying the 5 3/4% on it (561.8$) and then the next day putting the rest of you investment money? Thanks for the help!

    So - what do you think the “fee” is for someone investing on their own who may not have the expertise and tries to time the market, or moves assets because they can’t emotionally handle the turmoil of the market? I speak from experience - I spent many days in my 20s and 30s studying the market, reading every investing book I could get my hands on, and truly thought I was able to manage my investments myself. All it took was listening to some yahoo on CNN Money and allowing others to push my emotional investment buttons when the market was in a downturn. One wrong trade erased most of the growth I had gained over the previous 12 years. I’m here to tell you that a good advisor is worth everything, especially when it comes to planning for market downturns, cash flow in retirement, or just planning ahead and developing a strategy. If that means paying someone A-share loads or an advisory fee to help keep me from making huge mistakes, so be it. It’s money well spent IMO - I just wish I had been paying those fees a long time ago.

    Dave is not correct. You will pay a yearly expense ratio ON TOP OF paying for a front-load of 5.75%. So you could pay 5.75% up front, then pay 1% or more every year after that. Far better to stick with simple index funds. There have been a ton of academic studies that show that over time, most actively managed funds don't beat their index. Even Warren Buffett recommends them for the vast majority of investors, as do numerous other prominent investors. Fees and expense ratios do matter and can add up to tens of thousands of dollars over an investor's lifetime. Keep it simple.

    Unless Jack Bogle, Warren Buffett, David Swenson, Burton Malkiel, etc, etc are all wrong, then I don't think I'm the one who is lost. There is no point in using a lower maintenance fee to prove his point if these lower maintenance fees (on front-end load funds) don't exist in the real world. There is zero reason to buy a fund with a front end load and a high ongoing expense ratio when so many no-load funds with low expense ratios exists. All they do is benefit brokers and salemen (I think Dave referred to them as a "coach" in the video) But in any case, have a nice day and enjoy investing in expensive mutual funds that eat away at your returns. I'll stick with Vanguard. With that, I'm out!

    It's theoretically possible that a load fund would charge a lower expense ratio. But in most cases, their expense ratios are higher than those of no-load funds, too. There are always a few exceptions, but not that many. Just having to pay a load/commission makes load funds not worth it.

    5.75% is the MAXIMUM load. Every company I know of gives breakpoint discounts. For example, a total household balance of $25K with American Funds "A" shares pays a load of 5.00%, whereas a household balance of $250K pays a load of 2.50%. The annual expense ratio is the same for either breakpoint. "C" shares don't have an up-front load, but have a higher expense ratio, so will cost more over time compared to their "A" share counterparts.

    You are correct. In November 2019 we paid 2% load (one-time in-processing fee) for American Funds “Class A” shares. Each of the four funds selected has a specific group of Fund Managers who research start up and existing companies to determine those deemed the best, most likely to be successful within their sector. Managed funds such as these typically produce higher returns than the S&P 500. Some days they don’t, but over months/years I’ve seen a greater return. At this point, peace of mind and results are evident. Market swings up and down are normal. Be well.
