No load mutual fund is directly into the hands of mutual fund companies so it does not suffer from corruption and negotiation. The firm and the investor are in direct contact with each other and take better decisions of their joint investment.
No load mutual funds providers are also benefiting from the fact that they do not have to compensate an outside expert for propagating the mutual funds and extract out a share of the investments, which would otherwise result to a large amount if the investment is a hefty one. Thus, no load mutual funds are favorable to both the parties involving investment, in terms of both security and returns.
