See Inside the Wrapper of Your Mutual Fund (No. Hollywood, CA USA) April 28, 2000 - 5.0/5 stars
Even though the authors are academics, this book is not bogged down with
heavy, collegiate, turgid text and calculations.
Rather, Fredman and
colleagues have simply gone about explaining the various
difficult-to-understand aspects of the mutual funds industry.
This
information is essential to your understanding of the various ratings and
types of mutual funds.As a securities industry manager and former
regulator, I first began to use the book to become familiar with the
details of such things as 12b-1 fees, expense ratios, comparative
assessment of funds, features offered as sales incentives or to ease
transactions (e.g. dividend reinvestment, 1035 exchanges, intra-fund
familiy exchanges, etc.). As time went on I have kept this book in my
office.
It has become essential to answer the occasional questions that
arise and which are more detailed and technical than my memory can answer.
The book has never come up short on this count. You should also look
for other publications of NYIF (New York Institute of Finance).
This is
formerly the publishing arm of the NYSE. The material published by NYIF is
"from the horse's mouth" and right on the mark for those seeking
to learn details of how the profession of finance works.
Despite this, the
material is never overly technical and theoretical. Rather, the material
is practical day-to-day information which will wind up on your reference
shelf.
