I'm getting around to reviewing this books years after I purchased it. It is an excellent introduction and strategy guide to investing through mutual funds, but that is not enough. Mutual funds can tank as badly as any stock. If you are like me, pretty darn smart and busy making a living, turn your money over to a professional that will manage a portfolio of mutuals for you. But there is the rub, finding a competent manager. I got lucky and found someone good. So, read the book and use your knowledge ... Read More

A good good book for those wishing basic information to start investing in Mutual Funds.

My dad read this book & found it one of the best overviews of Mutual Funds. He said it had taken him over 30 years to reach many of the conclusions in the book - and some he learned the hard way. He wished this book had been around when he started investing 30+ years ago.

I bought this book because I had read the multi-volume series on investing Benz also wrote for Morningstar, and I also follow her articles on their website. If you are just starting out as an investor, or you are looking for a refresher (or ONE book to give someone who is not an educated investor) this book is an ideal choice. Well done. She takes the mystery [and maybe some of the fear] out of investing in Mutual Funds.
Rating: -
Christine Benz is extremely knowledgeable and articulate, explainly the ins and outs of mutual funds in easily understood language. This is your first and last stop if you wish to become informed about this popular way of investing your money. The only downside is that it was published in 2005. A more up-to-date edition would have more--or perhaps changing--information on featured funds.
