What is a Mutual Fund?
  • A company that pools money from many investors to
    buy a wide variety of securities (stocks, bonds,
    etc.)
  • Automatic diversification
  • Each investor owns a pro-rata share of all
    investments in the portfolio
  • Professional management

10
Why Mutual Funds?
  • Diversification
  • Own a piece of many companies
  • For a small amount you gain a great deal of
    diversification
  • Easy to match your investment objective
  • Convenient to purchase and sell

11
Load vs. No-Load
  • Load funds are sold by financial sales people who
    charge commissions
  • 5 of every , every time you invest
  • No-load (no commission) funds
  • Sold directly to investor (no salesperson)
  • web sites
  • 800 phone number
  • mail

12
Index vs. Actively Managed Funds
  • Index
  • Tracks a market index
  • SP 500
  • DJ Wilshire 5000
  • Fees are low
  • Low turnover rate
  • Investment returns mirror the index
  • Actively Managed
  • Higher management fees
  • Higher turnover rate
  • it is uncommon for the return to be higher than
    its index for extended periods

13
How to Choose a Mutual Fund
  • Investment Objective
  • Diversification more is better
  • No-Load
  • Low expense ratio
  • Minimum Initial/Subsequent Investment
  • Automatic investment plan
  • Independent ratings

14
Initial/Subsequent Investment
  • Most funds require a large initial investment
    (i.e., 1,000 3,000)
  • Lower subsequent minimum investments once in the
    fund (50-250)
  • A few funds allow you to bypass initial
    investment if you set up automatic investment
    plan (AIP)

15
Expenses/Custodial Fees
  • Funds charge investors fees and expenses.
  • A fund with high costs must perform better than a
    low-cost fund to generate the same returns.
  • Small differences in fees can translate into
    large differences in returns over time.

16
MF Expense Analyzer
  • Compares cost of owning a fund over time based on
    the funds expense ratio
  • National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD)
  • Compare 3 funds at a time

Expense Example
  • Invest 10,000 for 20 years in a fund w/ 10
    annual return
  • 1.5 expense ratio grows to 49,725
  • 0.5 expense ratio grows to 60,858
  • 18 more!
  • Average expense ratio for stock MFs 1.5
  • Index funds charge very low expenses
