I was unaware of the Automatic Account Builder feature. I thought the $75 was waved only for re-invested dividends. Humm, it wouldn't take a high IQ to add to a holding at the discount rate.
Note just received from Fidelity Customer Service:
The _ABCD_ funds available for purchase at Fidelity are available with a transaction fee. There is a charge of $75 to place a buy order online. In your example, you can sell shares of _ABCD_ and use the proceeds to purchase shares in [another fund in same Fund Family] (exchange). You would incur a transaction fee of $75 placing this order online. There is no fee assessed on sell orders, so you would not incur a charge by placing a sell order for some of your shares in the _ABCD_ fund.
The transaction fee of $75 is assessed for each additional buy order you place online. We offer a feature called FAAB, for Fidelity Automatic Account Builder, which allows you to purchase additional shares in a fund automatically on the schedule, frequency, and amounts you choose. Once you establish the initial position in a fund, you can set up FAAB on your account to purchase additional shares in Dodge& Cox or other transaction-fee funds and the charge drops to $5 for these additional purchases.
Here are the steps to follow if you are interested adding FAAB to your account. From www.fidelity.com
