The annual Business Week Mutual Fund Scoreboard is consistently the magazine's bestselling single issue. For investors who want all of its meaty details--along with the kind of supporting data and analysis that simply cannot be crammed into a monthly periodical--senior writer Jeffrey M. Laderman has assembled the comprehensive Business Week Guide to Mutual Funds. Totally updated and revised, it contains the latest information on 885 equity, 653 bond, and 260 closed-end funds in two sections. The first outlines essentials from building fund portfolios to taxes and record-keeping; the second provides specifics on performance, costs and risks.
