Getting Started in Mutual Funds

Getting Started in Mutual Funds, Second Edition is an overhaul of the original edition that includes everything from Morningstar's new matrix of evaluating a fund's investment style to implementing mutual funds into long-term investment strategies in retirement plans. Hall, of course, keeps the basics like how to read a prospectus, how to evaluate ongoing fees and expenses, and how to evaluate a fund's performance. New chapters include information on exchange-traded funds (how they compare to mutual funds in terms of performance, risk and fees) and how mutual funds have been incorporated into commodity and futures investing.
