no-load
Without sales charges
No-load describes mutual funds that don't charge sales commissions when you buy or sell shares: a no-load index fund.
The term contrasts with load funds, which charge fees—front-end loads when purchasing, back-end loads when selling.
No-load funds still have operating expenses, but investors avoid the commission that typically goes to brokers or advisors.
