Only Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Smith and her 8-year-old daughter, Susie, can combine their funds in order to meet the breakpoint and get the reduced sales charge. Investments made by a husband and a wife and by a parent on their own account and on a custodial account for a minor child can be combined toward the total needed to reach the breakpoint. (The child cannot be an adult, however.) Investments made by siblings and investment clubs cannot be combined to meet a breakpoint.
