It’s also interesting how often the firm’s proprietary funds end up on that list. Hence, if you are a client of Merrill Lynch, let’s say, you will typically see quite a few Merrill Lynch funds on that list. This is a simple case of allowing how much you get paid to drive your decisions on what funds to recommend.
