A-Share In a family of multi-class mutual funds, this is the class that is characterized by a front load structure. Not all fund companies follow this class structure; however, it is the prominent method of distinction. Investopedia Says: Typically, the class A fund has a lower management expense ratio compared to the other classes within the same family. This is due to the high initial front load.
