Book Description

Publication Date: May 5, 2004 | Series: David Scott's Guide

This invaluable new guide from financial expert David Scott analyzes the role that mutual funds play in achieving a balanced portfolio. In addition to explaining how shares in mutual funds are bought and sold, this clearly written book will show investors

• how to assess a fund’s investment objective in light of their own goals • how to choose from among stock, bond, and money market funds • how to evaluate the three different kinds of income associated with mutual funds — dividends, capital gains, and market appreciation • how to save on fees when buying and redeeming mutual fund shares

5.0 out of 5 stars David Scott's Guide to Investing in Mutual Funds, August 17, 2004

Ronald E. Damrill (University Place, WA -- USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: David Scott's Guide to Investing In Mutual Funds (Paperback)

The author has written another superb book on investment. This book on mutual funds is fun to read, easy to understand and cuts through the fog of misunderstanding associated with mutual fund investing. It includes a detailed explanation of all the various mutual funds which includes equity, bond and money market funds. It also covers alternatives to mutual funds such as closed-end investment companies. The book provides a wealth of knowledge and is a welcome addition to my library on investing.

vernon (Salt Lake City) - See all my reviews

This review is from: David Scott's Guide to Investing In Mutual Funds (Paperback)

I have found Scott's book to be a real help in understanding how to select mutual funds. Now I know what fees to check and the type fund that best fits my needs. I have recommended this to my friends who were in the same sorry shape I was.

Von (Wyoming) - See all my reviews

This review is from: David Scott's Guide to Investing In Mutual Funds (Paperback)

This is a concise guide for beginning investors. It is easy to understand and reasonably complete. The material is too elementary for someone experienced in mutual fund investing but just about right for someone who is about to get their feet wet.
