You can develop investment strategies for mutual funds. These strategies can be aimed at conserving your money or even to substantially grow your funds. Previously in "Getting Started with Mutual Funds" I discussed the key factors involved with investing in mutual funds. With these in mind you can either get going or perhaps re-think your approach to mutual fund investing.
Checking Your Mutual Fund Prices Today Mutual fund prices today are rarely the same as they were the day before, and are highly unlikely to remain the same tomorrow. The best place for you to find mutual fund prices today is going to be the Internet, and after that, the finance section of your local newspaper. If you have the ticker symbol for your fund, you can simply search it on a finance website, like US News or Yahoo.
Along with the increased buying and selling activities of an active manager comes a higher expense charge for those trading and management costs. Most actively managed funds have a 50 to 100% higher operating expense ratio than the average index fund. If you are not getting better returns, this can cost plenty over time. Also if your quality manager leaves the fund, you may need to find a better alternative.
While both managed and index funds can yield nice long-term returns over time, I have found that if you can select the best managers in their field and allocate your assets to these top 20 percent of the fund world, you can get better returns from your fund investments. But if you are not sure whether your funds are in the top group, find out. and if they are not, you might be better off with an index fund.
