Mutual Fund Brokerage Fees and Trading Costs
How much do mutual funds pay in commissions and trading costs? This is a question that the mutual fund industry seems reluctant to answer. In an industry already complicated by fees - sales loads, soft dollars, trailing fees, 12b-1 marketing fees - asking mutual funds to prominently disclose trading costs is unpopular among fund companies. We've decided to take the lead anyway. It's the right thing to do.

As for all mutual funds, the distribution results in an equivalent reduction in the net asset value of the Fund.

For 2009, no capital gains distribution is required for the Strategic Growth Fund.
August 5, 2009: The expense ratio for the Hussman Strategic Growth Fund (HSGFX) was lowered from 1.10% to 1.04% today. The expense ratio for the Hussman Strategic Total Return Fund (HSTRX) was lowered from 0.75% to 0.67%. These cuts reflect active reductions in investment advisory and fund administration fees, the addition of new fee breakpoints (approved at the July meeting of the Hussman Funds Board of Trustees), and general growth in Fund assets. Fund expense ratios are affected by a number of factors including fee breakpoints and the level of Fund assets, and may increase or decrease over time.
