Who is responsible for paying the 12b-1 fees that are commonly associated with mutual funds? Are these fees paid by the fund itself, the fund's management company, or the investors who hold shares in the fund? Additionally, how are these fees structured and what do they typically cover? Is there any way for investors to avoid or minimize these fees, or are they a necessary cost of investing in mutual funds?

Could you please clarify who exactly is responsible for paying the 12b-1 fees in the context of mutual fund investments? Are these fees deducted from the investor's principal or do they come from some other source? Additionally, what specific services or benefits do these fees cover, and are there any potential conflicts of interest that investors should be aware of when it comes to the distribution of these fees?
