Prompted by slow sales into the newly-reopened Munder NetNet Fund, Munder Capital Management is paying additional commissions to Munder external marketers who reach sales goals of more than $50 million, said a person who is familiar with the fund company's marketing effort. Munder launched its brand awareness in the retail mutual fund market by offering one of the first Internet funds, which gained national attention for its triple-digit returns in 1999 and early 2000 before its Nasdaq Stock Market-listed technology stocks began to tumble in value. The splash page of the fund company's Web site is topped with a bold announcement proclaiming the once-stellar NetNet Fund's reopening, but inflows dribbling into the fund suggest that individual investors' enthusiasm for battered Internet investments is still relatively weak following the Nasdaq tumble.
