What best describes a Letter of Intent in mutual funds?

  1. A contract to sell a set number of shares

  2. A written indication to sell a set number of shares in the future

  3. A written indication to purchase a set number of mutual fund shares in the future

  4. A contract guaranteeing mutual fund performance

The correct answer is: A written indication to purchase a set number of mutual fund shares in the future

A Letter of Intent in mutual funds is a written indication to purchase a set number of mutual fund shares in the future. A is incorrect because it refers to selling rather than purchasing. B is incorrect because it refers to selling in the future, rather than purchasing. D is incorrect because a Letter of Intent does not guarantee mutual fund performance. It is simply a written indication of an intent to purchase a set number of shares in the future.
