Abstract: | Mutual fund investors still get only half the story. The focus -- in both the financial press and in advertisements -- is on investment return, often precisely quantified by historical returns over several time intervals, with any mention of the fund's relative risk relegated to imprecise generalities. Investors -- and the CPA who advise them -- need objective criteria concisely communicated to enable them to understand the risks that accompany these returns so they can make rational mutual fund selections. |
