Class A
Net amount invested = gross amount * (1 - front load %)
Net amount invested = $10,000 * (1 - 2%) = $9,800
Net returns per year = gross returns - 12b1 fee - management fee
Net returns per year = 6% - 0.25% - 0.50% = 5.25%
Future value = present value * (1 + rate of return)number of years
Future value = $9,800 * (1 + 5.25%)7
Future value = $14,021.06
Class C
There is no front load, hence the net amount invested is $10,000
Net returns per year = gross returns - 12b1 fee - management fee
Net returns per year = 6% - 0.50% - 1.00% = 4.50%
Future value = present value * (1 + rate of return)number of years
Future value = $10,000 * (1 + 4.50%)7
Future value = $13,608.62
The future value of Class A is higher by $14,021.06 - $13,608.62 = $412.44
Class A should be picked
