Business Process Engineering: Reference Models for Industrial Enterprises

By Jeffrey M. Laderman

Book Overview

With interest rates remaining low on savings accounts and certificates of deposit, mutual funds have become a mainstream form of investment. This guide provides current performance ratings on over 1500 mutual funds, plus guidance on how to invest safely and successfully. This edition again features scoreboards, which show the one-year, five-year and ten-year performance records of every type of mutual fund (equity, fixed-income, money-market, speciality and closed-end). These scoreboards feature specific information on risk levels, fund objectives, management and fees. In addition, the guide analyzes the past year's mutual fund activity and looks at upcoming trends and funds to watch.

Everything AND the kitchen sink

Before reading this book, I had very little knowledge what a mutual fund was, and had even less knowledge how to invest in them. This book explains step by step the different types of funds (small cap, mid cap, growth, blend, index, etc.) in a very easy-to-read format. It also recommends investment strategies for people at all stages of their life, and explains why certain funds may work better for people than others. After reading this book, I feel much more confident picking the right fund, and knowing how to react to market swings. A definite A+.

This is a very informative book.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about mutual fund investing. Unlike other books on the subject I have read, the author details how loads and high expenses can devastate investment returns.
