I’m not sure. A sounds tricky. Redemptions for trailer fees? That seems off.

Agreed! C makes the most sense. It’s how they get paid over time.

I think C is correct. Trailer fees depend on assets under management.

Wait, are trading commissions really part of the management fee?

A is definitely wrong. Redemptions don’t pay trailer fees.

I’m confused about the management fee and trading commissions. I thought they were separate, so I’m not sure about option D being correct.

I recall a practice question about how trailer fees work, and I think they are indeed paid based on the value of the assets, which again points to C.

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like redemptions don’t directly pay trailer fees. I might be mixing it up with something else we studied.

I think I remember that trailer fees are ongoing, so they might be based on the assets under management, which makes me lean towards option C.
