Book description
GUIDE TO MUTUAL FUNDS
SECOND EDITION
"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 information. 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
"Successful investors know they must do their own due diligence.
Morningstar has done much of that homework in this guide. Leave it to
Morningstar to get it right, offering smart ways to pick, build and
monitor a portfolio. It's a commonsense guide that should grace every
investor's shelf."
--Ted David, CNBC Anchor
"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
