The Fund Industry: How Your Money Is Managed"The authors have done a fabulous job in explaining all aspects of mutual funds in a cohesive, reader-friendly work. With over 90 million investors entrusting over $11 trillion to mutual funds and assuming more responsibility for their retirement, this book is quite timely. It should be required reading for all investors."—Andrew J.
