Load Spread Option
Process used to allocate a contractual mutual fund’s annual sales charge. In a contractual plan, fund shares are accumulated through periodic fixed payments. The maximum sales charge is limited to 9% for the life of the contract. However, up to 20% of any year’s investment can be credited against the sales charge as long as the total charge for the first four years does not exceed 64% of one year’s investment.
