The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will consider limiting the marketing fees charged to mutual-fund investors, The Wall Street Journal reports. The proposal received the support of all five SEC commissioners when it was issued last July. As per the proposal, a company will not be allowed to charge more in 12b-1 fees for a class of fund shares. The continual sales charges will be limited so they do not exceed the maximum charge for those who choose to pay the sales charge upfront. The regulator may make changes to the proposal.
