What "sale of fund shares" means is, there is a sales charge for selling the shares to you; something like a sales tax, although it's not a tax. Some people think "sale" means when YOU sell the shares. That's possible, and is called a "back loaded" fund. If you pay when you BUY the shares, it's called a "front loaded" fund.
You should be looking for a fund which is a "no-load" fund which means no front or back loading, then look for the lowest annual fund charges, although I forget what term is used for that.
I am not a personal finance expert, but do have an involvement in my investments and retirement accounts.
