Listed here, , is the 10-year, per-share performance record of Blue Chip Growth Fund, as obtained from the fund's May 30, 2019, prospectus. Use this information to find the holding period return in 2019 and 2016. Also find the fund's rate of return over the 5-year period 2015-2019, and the 10-year period 20102019. Finally, rework the four return figures, assuming the fund has a front-end load charge of 5% (of NAV). Comment on the impact of load charges on the return behavior of mutual funds. The holding period return for 2019 is %. (Round to two decimal places.) The holding period return for 2016 is %. (Round to two decimal places.) The fund's rate of return over the 5-year period of 20152019 is %. (Round to two decimal places.) The fund's rate of return over the 10-year period of 20102019 is %. (Round to two decimal places.)

Assuming a front-end load charge of 5% (of NAV), the holding period return for 2016 is %. (Round to two decimal places.) Since the front-end load the total return and the purchase price, the cumulative effect will be a(n) in the HPR. (Select from the drop-down menus.)
