Whether you’re a regular reader of investing books or this is your first, Mutual Funds For Dummies, 8th Edition, which is thoroughly revised and updated, provides practical and profitable techniques of fund investing that you can put to work now and for many years to come.

Funds aren’t literally for dummies — in fact, they’re an incredibly wise investment choice for people from all walks of life. Mutual funds are investment companies that combine your money with that from many other people to create a large pool of assets that can be invested in stocks, bonds, or other securities. This book also extensively covers exchange-traded funds, which are like mutual funds except that they trade on a stock exchange when the financial markets are open. Because your assets are part of a much larger whole, the best funds enable you to invest in securities that give you low-cost access to leading professional money managers.

With the best money managers investing your nest egg in top-flight investments that match your financial goals, you can spend your time doing the activities in life that you enjoy and are best at. Funds should improve your investment returns as well as your social life!

I practice what I preach. All my investments that I’ve devoted to securities (stocks and bonds) are invested through funds. Why? For the simple reason that I’m confident the best fund managers that I recommend in this book can do a superior job (higher returns, less cost) than I can by researching and selecting individual stocks and bonds on my own.

I’ve enjoyed successfully investing in funds for more than 30 years and enjoyed seeing funds that I’ve invested in over the long haul appreciate 10-fold, 15-fold, or more in some cases. Consider recent decades’ top performing stocks — companies such as Activision Blizzard, Alphabet/Google, Amazon, Apple, BestBuy, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Costco, Idexx Labs, Intuitive Surgical, Microsoft, Monster Beverage, Netflix, Nike, Nvidia, Starbucks, Tesla, Tractor Supply, UnitedHealth, and Walmart. Many of these stocks have posted unbelievable long-term returns — rising 50-fold, 100-fold, or more. The beauty of the diversified funds I’ve been recommending for more than 30 years is that they have bought and held onto such outstanding stocks.

As a financial counselor, writer, and educator, I’ve helped investors make informed investing decisions with mutual funds and exchange-traded funds as part of comprehensive personal financial management. So I know the questions and challenges that you face when you invest in funds. I wrote this book to answer your fund-investing questions in plain English.
