SEC votes to scrap mutual fund ’12b-1′ fees BOSTON — The Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday voted to revamp fees that most mutual funds charge to cover sales and distribution costs, and that have become a source of confusion for investors and industry insiders alike. Revenue from so-called “12b-1” fees can be used for a wide range of fund services beyond upfront sales costs, and an investor can pay the fees for years after they’ve gotten into a fund, eroding returns. Even industry pros find 12b-1s confusing, because funds can use the fee revenue in so many different ways.
