Haha, the fund better not be paying too many commissions or that's going to eat into my returns!

I'm not sure the commissions paid on transactions are that relevant for tax efficiency.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I believe the turnover ratio is the right choice since it directly impacts capital gains taxes.

I'm a little confused - I thought the sales charges were more about the upfront costs, not the tax efficiency. The turnover ratio and distributions seem like the key disclosures here.

The commissions the fund pays seem less relevant for evaluating tax efficiency. I'd focus on the turnover ratio and distribution projections.

Definitely need to look at the turnover ratio, but the sales charges and breakpoint discounts are also important. That affects the overall cost and returns.

I'm not sure if the turnover ratio is the only thing to look at. The projections of future distributions could also give a good sense of the tax impact.
