    CAGEX cons

    The following are CAGEX weaknesses from our perspective:

    • CAGEX net assets are $0.00 million. This fund is not a popular choice with retail investors.
    • Warning: this fund has a 12b1 and front-end sales fee. The maximum 12b1 fee is 0.25%, while the maximum front-end sales load is 4.75%. A 12b-1 fee is an annual marketing or distribution fee on a mutual fund. Front-end sales load, also known as sales charge, is a fee paid when mutual funds shares are purchased. Those fees are subtracted from your total investable assets.
