First Mutual Fund Family Cuts Management Fees

During a time when Employers, Employees, and Governments are all doing what they can to cut hours, costs, and run a successful enterprise, finally, a Mutual Fund family is following suit.

Putnam Investments made an announcement this week, subject to shareholder approval, that it would lower costs for its mutual funds by:

1) Cutting expense ratios,
2) Implementing performance driven expense ratios, and/or
3) Adjusting pricing breakpoints

Analysts expect a 10-13% price reduction.

Who else will follow suit, and why did it take so long?
