Customer Reviews

Fine mutual fund compilation

I have recently read several compilations of mutual fund data and, in my view, this is the best. Morningstar reviews 500 funds extensively, and Business Week reviews 885 equity funds (and an unknown number of bond funds, but who cares?). This book covers 9000 funds. The trade-off for the extensive coverage is less detail about each fund. If you want more material, and will only look at the major players, then Morningstar is the better bet. If you want to go mining for overlooked gems, as I did, then Kazanjian's book gives you a better chance of finding them.Much of Morningstar's information is available on-line. Mutual Fund Magazine is also a good on-line source for information. I read the previous review and would be very interested in hearing how Kazanjian's 1999 picks have fared. His reviews of what he considers to be top funds are interesting and thought provoking, even if they don't prove to be the very top funds for the coming year. Everybody's got to do the work and decide which funds match their own personality and what's best for themselves. If you want to go fishing in the whole ocean of equity funds, stop first at this bait shop.
