The fact that there are more mutual funds in existence than
there are stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange is testimony
to the mutual fund's continued success as a profitable investment
opportunity. By placing your money in a mutual fund, you can
earn the same dollar-for-dollar return as the very largest investors,
even if you begin with as little as 250.
The 100 Mutual Funds analyzed in this book rank as the very
best choices for:
Aggressive growth funds
Balanced funds
Global equity funds
Growth and income funds
High-Yield funds
Metals and Natural Resources funds
World bond funds
Municipal bond funds
Government bond funds
International investing
Corporate bond funds
Growth funds
Utility stock funds
Money market funds
Each has been rated for performance over the long term, stability
of management, risk sensitivity, up-market and down-market
performance, tax minimization (an element not covered in any
other mutual fund guide), and predictability of returns.
