DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe importance of mutual funds for individual investors has increased in recent decades. This becomes apparent when looking at the increased share of households owning mutual funds. These mutual fund investors usually want to receive a return which is above or at least close to the mutual fund’s benchmark. Consequently, investors want to invest in those funds which will show these patterns in the future. Some of these mutual funds receive much attention, since they generate extraordinary high performance. But the question that remains is whether it is possible to predict such performance before funds exhibit such outstanding performance. In the past, mutual fund investors focused extensively on performance or performance linked patterns, like the Morningstar star rating, and thus chased past performance. This seems surprising since performance persists only over a short time and is more persistent to weak mutual funds (1 and 2 star rated) than well performing mutual funds. Thus, chasing past performances seems to be a rather inferior strategy. Therefore, investors should try to identify alternative tools showing a high correlation to future mutual fund performance. In this book, mutual funds are analysed, especially open-end mutual funds and actively managed mutual funds. The main focus is on what purpose and usefulness active investments have and whether performance is persistent and what the determinants of mutual fund flows are. Moreover, some alternative measures will be introduced by explaining which attributes or methods should be used and avoided when selecting mutual funds.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPraise for Morningstar Guide to Mutual Funds "Picking actively managed mutual funds is no mean challenge. And as the recent era underscores, past performance is of little help. The Morningstar Guide to Mutual Funds helps cut through the fog with a solid volume of constructive advice. The central message-'truly diversify, keep it simple, focus on costs, and stick with it'-is not only timeless, it is priceless." -John C. Bogle, founder and former CEO, The Vanguard Group "There's nothing Morningstar doesn't know about mutual funds. And at last, for ready reference, there's a book. You'll find everything here you need to know about managing fund investments, inside or outside a 401(k)." -Jane Bryant Quinn, Newsweek columnist and author of Making the Most of Your Money "All serious mutual fund investors know that Morningstar is the source of impeccable data and sound investment advice. This book is the culmination of nearly two decades of research, analysis, and good old commonsense wisdom." -Tyler Mathisen, financial journalist, CNBC "Momentum investing, the hype in NASDAQ, the dot-com mania are mostly behind us. Now, we must navigate through the market debris. We need a compass as we look to allocate our financial resources in a way best suited to maintain purchasing power and fully fund retirement. The Morningstar Guide will help investors find true north and steer a course to reach their long-term financial goals." -Mario J. Gabelli, Chief Investment Officer Gabelli Asset Management, a publicly traded company "A generation of investors who took the stock market for granted now know how important it is to understand-and control-their own investments. The Morningstar Guide should be their most important resource." -Terry Savage, Chicago Sun-Times financial columnist and author of The Savage Truth on Money

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEver wondered how to find the best performing mutual funds? Learn how to keep investing simple without being tied to so-called experts who are more worried about getting a steady commission than in finding the best investments for the everyday person. It was written with three groups in mind...those who are just now entering the workforce, those who have been putting money into 401(k)s and IRAs on their own, and those who have been using financial planners to pick their investments. Overall, this book is for those who have never been taught how to pick quality mutual funds for themselves. Author Douglas Dickey defines a mindset to develop when comparing mutual funds and then demonstrates a simple process for systematically eliminating funds from a larger list. Learn the specific selection criteria to use and watch as he walks the reader through a step-by-step comparison process so that you can learn to use this method. It allows you to speed up your selection process while also providing a sound approach to mutual fund investing that can generate better returns over the next 20, 30, and 40 years.
