Guide to Mutual Funds
 5-Star Strategies for Success offers strategies for investors who want to better understand what makes funds tick and what separates the top managers from the rest of the pack. No wonder mutual funds have become the investment staple for tens of millions of individual investors: Mutual funds offer instant diversification, and there are mutual funds available to suit any investment style or budget.
Yet the decision to invest in mutual funds is only the first of many you must make. You still have to determine which funds are best for your risk tolerance and how to combine funds in a portfolio that's suitable for your goals. With thousands of funds on the market, where do you begin?
Regardless of your investment experience or expertise, Morningstar® Guide to Mutual Funds will show you how to look beyond flashy advertising and often equally flashy (and unsustainable) performance figures to find the funds to fit your needs today and well into the future. Look to Morningstar's plain-English explanations for:
• |
Advantages-and occasional disadvantages-of mutual funds versus other types of investments. |
• |
Listings of recommended funds for virtually any investment goal, time horizon, and level of risk tolerance. |
• |
In-depth explanations of expense ratios, loads, and other fund charges. |
• |
Strategies for assessing a fund's past volatility and evaluating its future risk. |
• |
Diversification techniques across investments, asset classes, and subasset classes. |
• |
Optimal investment strategies for meeting short-, intermediate-, and long-term goa. |
• |
Key points in assessing the quality of a fund's management. |
Let Morningstar® Guide to Mutual Funds walk you through the often-intimidating mutual fund selection process, and help you choose the right funds to meet your investment goals, protect your assets in any market environment, and provide you with the safety you need-all with the security of knowing you're working with Morningstar, the number-one information source for today's smart mutual fund investor.
