I'm wondering if Fidelity is starting to change policy about welcoming funds and adding new funds as no loads. Here are some examples CETAX and FTHNX available @ Fidelity as loaded funds: Schwab offered as no load. JOFIX, SHXPX not offered at Fideit,y both no load at SCHWAB. I asked but they said they haven't changed their policy. But I wonder. SHXPX previewed several months ago at MFO with the statement by David that will be be added to both Schwab and Fidelity. Still not added at Fidelity, but I bought @ SCHWAB. Jan 2nd.
Anyone no more about this?

VF: "Maybe".
Hurry up,...Slowly. Good things come to those who wait.
I tend to report what I hear from the advisers. If they say "we're working to get onto the Fidelity platform by spring" or "we'll be available on Fidelity soon," I pass it on. It's certainly possible that those negotiations might hit a snag or the process might become derailed, but that's not the normal course of things.
For what that's worth,
David
