While other books today deal with similar topics, there are many reasons why MUTUAL FUNDamentals stands above the rest.

Not just another book on mutual funds

The foundation of our book lies in our research because “Good research leads to good decisions.” We address some of the shortfalls that exist in other rating systems. MUTUAL FUNDamentals is about applying quantitative research and information, in a disciplined and objective manner which will produce funds that stand out as the highest quality. Fundamentally, this is also the objective of other rating systems. However, the key difference in our research is the emphasis. We emphasize analysis of risk, and consistency more than performance. And we emphasize underlying principles rather than just results. Like the old saying goes, “Give a man a fish and he eats for a day but teach a man to fish and he eats for life.” – we are teaching rather than just giving.
