Schwab offers commission-free funds in new program
Schwab through its discount brokerage expands access to no-load funds with no commissions for 200 funds and about 400 more at six-tenths of a percent, plus a 529 fee. Fidelity and Jack White offer similar options while some major fund families stay out. Investors gain transfer ease and consolidated statements, but risks include fund-family loyalty erosion and market-timing temptations.

Overseas stock funds lead the pack this year
Equity investors have earned most money by staying abroad with Overseas funds surging. Domestic funds rose 4.3 percent to July 16, while Overseas equity funds gained about 15.1 percent, amid political uncertainty and a slowing economy. Growth and small-cap stocks cool after years of strong performance. Gold holds steady but skeptics doubt a new bull run. Utility funds shine on high yields, offsetting money market limits. Major action centers on Japan and Europe.
