Morningstar has been covering the mutual-fund industry since 1984, evaluating and ranking funds for professional and individual investors alike. And every year the editors at Morningstar pick the best 500 funds from the universe of 8,000 that they cover, presenting them in the Morningstar Mutual Fund 500. Each of the 500 funds listed includes a performance, risk, and portfolio analysis as well as commentary about the fund and its management. The guide is prefaced with advice on evaluating funds and features a useful glossary of financial terms. The Morningstar Mutual Fund 500 is a must for anyone looking to fill out and diversify his or her investment portfolios. Recommended. --Harry C. Edwards --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL!, June 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Morningstar Mutual Fund 500: 1999 Edition (Morningstar Funds 500) (Paperback)

This book is a wonderful source of mutual fund data. I am just a an average joe who needed some help in the investment world. With this book, I was able to avoid those money grubbing brokers and get business handled on my own terms. I have told all my family and friends about this book and they are just as pleased as I am. I suggest that you let Morningstar do the hard research and number crunching for you, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply indispensable!, June 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Morningstar Mutual Fund 500: 1999 Edition (Morningstar Funds 500) (Paperback)

Morningstar is the reason that I have been able to retire early. Much earlier than I ever thought possible. I have recommended their various publications to friends of mine, who have all come up to thank me later on. And the folks at Morningstar are just beautiful people.

5.0 out of 5 stars An outstanding reference tool, September 10, 1999

This review is from: Morningstar 500: 1998-99 (Morningstar Funds 500) (Paperback)

This is a great reference tool. I was somewhat disappointed that some smaller funds with outstanding track records were excluded; however, with over 9,000 funds available the authors had to draw the line somewhere.
