Pearson Education Canada Publishes Top Funds 2002

Building Your Mutual Fund Portfolio

02/19/02 - With well over 4,000 mutual funds available to Canadian investors, there has to be a way to identify which ones are worth considering for a prosperous portfolio. Analyzing these funds is challenging enough, let alone selecting the best choices.

In the newly updated Top Funds 2002, both of these tasks are accomplished for investors - so they can put their money into the best funds with confidence and assurance. With the help of Morningstar Canada's rating system, selected funds have been rated from one star (low) to five stars (high).

Believing in the portfolio approach to investment, this knowledgeable combination of investment advisors, Dr. Riley Moynes, Nick Fallon, CFA, and Chris Moynes, tell Canadians how to create a better-performing, and less risky, portfolio. In this completely revised edition, the authors showcase the Top Funds for 2002 and provide the analysis of why these are the best places for investing. Features include:

• Bird's-eye view of the economic landscape and how mutual investors will fare in 2002
• Areas of the economy likely to experience growth
• Top Funds for 2002 and how they were picked
• Morningstar ratings for Top Funds

Top Funds 2002 is essential reading for investors who are interested in following a long-term plan and focusing not on timing the market but time in the market. In addition to detailed profiles of the 100 top funds, Top Funds 2002 explains how to avoid common investor mistakes so that you can take full advantage of the investment opportunities that lie ahead.
