This text provides an approach to the analysis of mutual funds whereby students evaluate a fund's various performance and risk attributes. This is accomplished by application of investment concepts, including measures from portfolio theory. The chapters include templates that provide structure for student input, analysis, and interpretation in the context of the fund's investment objective. The book avoids the less useful descriptive approach to fund selection, but without impeding the reader with too much technique and too little application. It thereby bridges the gap between the student's need to know and facilitation of his/her ability to do the necessary analysis. This approach has evolved over the past ten years in a course on mutual funds at the University of Maryland taken by over 1,000 students. The majority of these students were novice investors with little exposure to mutual funds and limited experience to applying the tools of investments. To sharpen decision making skills, the "templates" used as a pedagogical tool were designed utilizing specific criteria in an efficient, sound approach to fund analysis, interpretation of results, buy/sell decisions, and the timing of decisions.
