I've seen some funds that I seriously considered the load worth it, because of the historic returns, but it's still a near thing. Ing Russia for instance has 5%, but their rate of return historically has been nearly 40%/year. Still,.. I'll probably stick with no/low load. One thing I did find out, for MANY of the loaded funds, there IS a no-load equiv. in most of the larger fund companies (Fidelity, Vangard, etc). Sometimes you just have to look for it.
