Bogle on Mutual Funds: New Perspectives for the Intelligent Investor
John Bogle
Rating: 4.5/5 Stars
Rank: 25922
In this awesome overview of investment company products and services,
Bogle, founder and CEO of the $110-billion Vanguard group of funds,
demonstrates that "the abundance of information available about mutual
funds is .
. . overwhelming." Among the minute details included, Bogle
tells not only how to improve your backhand, as it were, but how to get
the best grass or clay for the tennis court. Fund categories past and
present--index, international, income, growth, industry-specialized
(electronic, health), long- and short-term bond (U.S., corporate, "junk"),
along with sales charges pro and con (Vanguard has none), high-low expense
ratios, management track records and tax considerations--all are dissected
to the ultimate percentile in relation to investor objectives and an
inconstant economic climate.
There is certainly something here for
everyone, but in the aggregate the author reaches beyond the needs (and
possibly the comprehension) of readers not engaged in the investment
business. 70,000 first printing; first serial to Money; Fortune Book Club
main selecton. Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information,
Inc.--This text refers to the

edition.
