No, they aren't unique.  I own shares in three funds from United Services, 
all of which are no-load.  

Several groups of funds are no-load.  A good way to tell is to look in the
Wall Street Journal under mutual funds.  For each fund, there is are three
numbers, an NAV (net asset value), an offer price, and an NAV chg.  The
funds with an offer price listed as "N.L." are no load, that is, the offer
price is the same as the NAV.
