Fundsters whose mutual funds trade through the
Fidelity FundsNetwork might see a spike in shareholder movement soon.
Forbes' Sam Subramanian
reports that the Boston-based firm just cut the commission-free minimum hold-time on FundsNetwork from 180 days to just 60.
According to Forbes, that puts FundsNetwork well ahead of the other supermarkets, with Ameritrade requiring a hold time of at least 180 days, and E*Trade, Schwab and Scottrade requiring 90.
The magazine claimed that the shift "significantly improves the attractiveness of style, region and country rotation-based portfolios," allowing those rotations to be applied "more frequently."
