I own and recommend the following mutual funds without hesitation to anyone, for any situation and length of time. These are the first funds in which I invested, and I've owned them all for 3.5 to 4 years. I have ranked them from highest to lowest 3 year return.\n\nBUFSX\nCAAPX\nMVALX\nDODBX\nOAKBX\n\nI advise you to do your own research and comparisons at Morningstar.com.

I'd try to tackle this a couple of ways.  First I would go to yahoo finace and see if they are a listed company.  Assuming you've found a listed company I would type in their ticker.  See what kind of news they have and then see if they have institutional holdings!!!  You can do that on yahoo finace or you can go to nasdaq.com and type in the ticker.  there you can click on institional holdings and they will actaully tell you the top 5 or so funds that hold that equity.  If they are funds you've heard of I'd feel pretty good about the company.  some examples GGB, PCU, PRB just to name a few in latin america.\n\nGood luck

You can find a lot of past performance of mutual funds on this web site.     http://www.micropal.com/\nalthough past return is no guarantee of future results - still, it could be used as an estimate.\n\nIf you want to calculate what an investment of $37,940 would add up to if it grew at 5% per year, just type this formula into an excel sheet:\n  =FV(0.05,30,,-37940)\nA whopping $163,974!

A good site to this type of research for free is Morningstar.   Although it has a premium subscription for some of its research, it also provides good, basic mutual fund information for free.  You can also check the quarterly mutual fund roundups in Business Week, Forbes, and Fortune, as well as the New York Times and Wall Street Journal.

They were bought out or merged.  I don't remember who by.  I should, though, I own a mutual fund through them.

In general you can't find out that info. I recall one fund manager mentioned that he was going to give frequent updates on portfolio positions. However I don't remember who it was.\n\nSince most fund managers fail to beat the indexes over time, the truth is it does not matter what they are doing. But the index funds for bullish positions, buy the double inverse Rydex or Profunds when in bear mode.

It's really not necessary.  They send a lot of paperwork because the government requires them to, but you don't necessarily need most of it.  Sometimes it's nice to know what stocks your fund owns, but I usually just glance at it and then toss it.\n\nAnd, yes, I believe most of that info is probably available online now.  No need to clutter up your files any more than necessary.

There are a number of mutual funds in India... The list is enless.. cant be written here... Regarding wothdrawl, you can do it whenever u want but most of the mutual funds keep some exit load if you withdraw before certain time. (Normally 6 months).. There is another class of Mutual Funds called ELSS which have a lockin of 3 years i.e u cant withdraw before three years.. But from the next financial onwards, they will become close-ended. \n\nThere are lot sites that can list all the mutual funds and their technical analysis. My favourites are:\nwww.moneycontrol.com\nwww.valueresearchonline.com\nwww.sharekhan.com\nwww.icicidirect.com\n\n\n..the list is endless..\nStart exploring with these sites, you will get a great deal of knowledge...

http://www.morningstar.com/\n\nIt allows you to pick category types and set characteristics of what you are looking for. Part of the site is free however part requires a fee. The free options are good enough for the average investor though. It covers stocks and mutual funds.\n\nBy the way, if you are just looking for expert picks be very careful following them. Personally I stay away from expert picks because many experts have an agenda of why they choose a stock that does benefit the normal, average investor. For example, why is it that most stock picks by analyists are near their all time high? Well because their trying to drive up the price so they can sell at the top while you hold the bag. Bottom line if you dont understand how to evaluate stocks on your own... dont invest in them. Get a mutual fund which is really a bunch of stocks in one. There are a lot of options also in regards to mutual funds: company type, size of companies, growth and risk potential for example. I learned the hard way in regards to the analyists back during the tech boom of the 80 and 90's. A lot of them got sued for doing what I said above. Dont think they arent still doing it.

You can get a lot of good information from Yahoo and MSN, and Big Charts will supplement that.  All of that is free. If you need more, consider an investment newsletter or research service such as Value Line, MPT Review, Investor's Value View, or BI Research.  Morningstar has some good information too.  Best of luck to you.

Mutual funds are a group of investors, that usually don't have enough money at one time, pooling there money together to maximize their buying power and  with more money they buy many different stocks in many different companies so that they limit their risk of loss by not investing in one company( or putting your eggs in one basket) Do to the fact that they pool their money the mutual fund can then afford a professional fund manager to pick which stocks, bonds, or money markets to invest in.  Also there are many types of funds, some balanced meaning they invest in all three, stocks, bonds, and money markets, simultaneously and some invest all in stocks, or bonds, or money markets individually. Anyway that is another big discussion. I hope that this helps you out.\n\nRemember mutual funds will never have the big returns of individual stocks but there wont be the losses either.\n\nAverage gains of 8% to 12% over the life of the fund should not be too hard to get.
