| Description: |
Today's investment environment is filled with more choices than ever before. But with so many choices and so much information available for each one, investors face an uphill battle when attempting to make important investment decisions. Now, in a single volume for the first time, Morningstar, Inc. looks to improve this situation with Morningstar Complete Investor.
Divided into two comprehensive parts, Morningstar Complete Investor focuses on two of the most important investment vehicles currently available—mutual funds and stocks. It offers straightforward and accessible advice on understanding the essential features of these investments and illustrates how to integrate them into your own personal portfolio.
In the first part of the book, Morningstar mutual fund expert Christine Benz will put you on the right path to building a sound, satisfying, and profitable mutual fund portfolio. She walks you through the often-intimidating mutual fund selection process, helps you choose the right funds to meet your goals, and shows you how to protect your assets in any market environment. Benz also discusses how to:
Minimize mutual fund costs by understanding expense ratios, loads, and other fund charges
Keep your portfolio on the right track with quarterly and annual reviews
Assess the quality of a fund's manager, and next steps should a fund manager leave. |
