How to decide among the various fund managers and mutual funds?

[Milton]

I have found that most of the active managed mutual funds cannot beat index consistently. Is it worthwhile to still invest in mutual funds? What if my mutual fund is not actively managed or my fund manager cannot navigate the market better than a random collection of indexed stocks? How to choose among so many mutual funds and fund managers available? Form where can I receive information about the best mutual funds and fund managers that beat market index regularly and are suitable for me? Please suggest. Thanks a lot!

Whew! So many questions! Dear friend, take some breath. Well, there many websites available online that gives information to its subscribers about the very best mutual funds and the savvy stock pickers who run them. I am a subscriber of fundmojo.com. It provides me services, tools and newsletters to discover best mutual funds and fund managers suitable for me. Hope fundmojo would be helpful for you too. Best of Luck!

Don't waste your time with mutual funds and fund managers...They are all crap. Get financially educated by reading the book Rich Dad Poor Dad...Don't blindly hand over your money to some big "mucky muck" and think he cares about your return...All they want is to charge fees like you wouldn't believe so in the end they end up on top and you end up in the crapper.

Have you considered to plan your finances before to invest?

Probably you want to have money to work for you and that is why you're asking about Mutual funds.

I highly recommend you to make a personal financial plan to define which are your goals, your financial health and build a plan to improve it.

Kind regards,

If you're looking to retire, sure they make good investments if you don't want to concern yourself with investing.

But we aren't hands off here.
