Can Money Help Me Pick a Mutual Fund?
If you have an Internet connection and you click the Fund button in the Portfolio window, Money displays web pages that purport to help you pick an appropriate mutual fund. We know you didn’t buy this book to get investment advice. Nevertheless, we want to caution you against using information from the Money program and the MoneyCentral web site (which is published by Microsoft Corporation) for choosing a mutual fund.

The Pros And (Mostly) Cons Of Mutual Funds
By Larry Lane for www.InvestorZoo.com
Why purchase a mutual fund?
The chief reason investors purchase mutual funds are for diversification. A mutual fund may hold as little as twenty securities all the way to several hundred. These can include stock, bonds as well as cash. If your investable assets are under ,000, mutual funds can be an ideal tool to diversify your portfolio. By investing in a mutual fund, you are in fact paying for a professional manager or team of managers to oversee your investment. Since mutual fund companies have huge amount of money to invest, they may have the advantage of meeting directly with the CEO and upper management of a company before investing. This is certainly an advantage a mutual fund has over an individual investor. If you are busy living your life or don’t have the investment skills to research individual stocks, purchasing a mutual fund may be the ideal investment.
