What do commissions have to do with it?


It doesn't look like that term even applies to stocks.

What Is a Front-End Load?

A front-end load is a commission or sales charge applied at the time of the initial purchase of an investment. The term most often applies to mutual fund investments, but may also apply to insurance policies or annuities.

Front-end loads are most often associated with mutual funds, but annuities, life insurance policies, and limited partnerships may have front-end loads.
