A fund is only as good as its manager. You need to get the name of the manager and check it out on the Internet.

Understanding Stock Mutual Funds for the First Time

Most investors happen to be the nickel and dime kind. They usually have so little money that if they ventured into the stock market on their own, they would only have enough for one or two stocks. It’s never safe to put all your eggs in just one or two baskets. The only way to invest in the stock market is to spread your risk on like a dozen companies that have different strengths and weaknesses. So what do you do when you don’t have enough money to spread around a dozen different stocks? You pick stock mutual funds of course — investment companies that have knowledgeable managers who will take your money and the money of thousands of people just like you to pool together and invest expertly over the said dozen companies. Not only does the humble individual investor get the security there is in spreading his money around, he gets expert stock market guidance as well.

Of course, what constitutes expert knowledge or expert opinion can be open to interpretation. There are almost 10,000 stock mutual funds in America today. And they all operate on completely different strategies. Some of them will only invest in European and Far Eastern stocks. Some will only invest in stocks on the S&P 500; while others will pick an industrial sector and only invest in that. Some mutual funds will pass the stock market over entirely to go for bonds exclusively. How can any individual investor be sure which mutual fund to trust?

Well, those aren’t the only things to consider when you pick a mutual fund either. An actively managed is something that has a bunch of experts on the board with their hand on the pulse of the market at all times. They make changes to the investment basket several times a week in reaction to the market, all in the hope that they will be able to net you a better return. Now while that sounds like a great idea, investment experts can be a terribly expensive burden for a mutual fund to carry. And you pay the fees for them. If you pick an index fund, they aim to only give you standard rates of return. And cheaply. So here’s what you need to consider, buying into that first mutual fund.

While mutual funds usually are at pains to tell you that a spectacular track record is no guarantee of future performance, you can be pretty sure that a good record is as close as you’ll come, to a guarantee of performance in the future as anything. Make sure though that you compare the stock mutual funds you’re eyeing with other funds that are just like it. If you don’t know where to look, all you need do is to look at the prospectus. Every mutual fund is required to publish benchmarks so that you can compare the way that mutual fund performs in relation to other investment opportunities in that category. You could look at MorningStar’s Fund Screener to find your top 10 mutual funds too.

A fund is only as good as its manager. You need to get the name of the manager and check it out on the Internet.
