Over the past few decades, Americans have increasingly turned to mutual funds as a way of saving for retirement and achieving other financial goals.

Mutual funds offer the diversification of your portfolio with the perhaps added advantage of professional investment management. A lot of beginners will consider professional management to be a benefit.

However, as with any other investment choice, mutual fund investment does come with its share of risks and drawbacks. The fees and taxes involved usually diminish the overall return on investment of the fund.

Before investing in any fund, it pays to understand the upsides and downsides of the plan as well as how to identify the investment vehicle that matches your goals and ability to tolerate risk.

This book explains the basics of what mutual funds are, the different types available, how they work, factors to consider before investing in them, making wise investments, and industry regulations.
