I did a lot of research before investing. Priamerica if I remember correctly
is an 8% load fund. STAY AWAY! The 8% load is not worth it. Go with a no
load fund like Janus, Twentieth Century or some other no-load funds. My research and the research of others shows that load funds do not do any better than no-loads.
There is a book that you should pick up and read before making any decisions:
"How to Pick the Best No-load Mutual Funds for Solid Growth and Safety"
by SHELSON JACOBS
This is an excellent book and will answer all of your questions.
Don't be hasty. Research before you invest!
