Series 7 practice questionmediumPackaged Products — Mutual Funds
An investor qualifies for a breakpoint discount on mutual fund Class A shares. Which of the following would NOT count toward the breakpoint?
- AThe investor's existing holdings in the same fund family
- BA letter of intent for future purchases
- CShares held in accounts at other broker-dealers in unrelated funds✓ Correct answer
- DShares held by the investor's spouse in the same fund family
Explanation
Why C — Shares held in accounts at other broker-dealers in unrelated funds
Breakpoint discounts allow investors to reduce front-end sales charges by combining eligible purchases within the same fund family. This includes rights of accumulation (existing holdings), letters of intent (pledged future purchases), and household accounts. However, shares in unrelated fund families at other broker-dealers would not count toward a breakpoint in a different fund family.
