Mutual Fund Industry Handbook
14 Oct 2005
Format:Hardcover
Of all the books I've read on Mutual Funds this one is a true all rounder of a book on the subject. This authoritative work is a must read for beginners and seasoned professionals alike.

Complementary Book
18 Feb 2006
Format:Hardcover
Start a Successful Mutual Fund by Melinda Gerber lists this book as a recommended read. It definitely complements her book. While hers includes the costs and steps to start a mutual fund (and how to choose service providers), this one shows how a mutual fund's service providers work together. This book is for anyone interested in learning about what goes on to support a mutual fund.

Most well-written book you'll probably find
13 Nov 2006
Format:Hardcover
I needed a good resource to learn about the securities and MF industry. This book is by far better written and more accessible than most other books - much better than Pozen's book on MFs and other popular books like "after the trade is made". Actually was enjoyable to read with great explanations and interesting sidebars. Very comprehensive with good diagrams.
