I want to invest in mutual funds but i don't know how to choose mutual funds. can any expert help me ?

Just so you know, Mutual funds aren´t for everyone. Personally, I wouldn´t invest in them unless I had to. For more detail on that, just do a search for where I´ve addressed this question in other answers. However to answer your question, there are several rankings of mutual funds, keeping in mind that past performance does not guarantee future results. I'd also stick to no load funds so you don't get "as" soaked on fees, etc. Here are some of the sources with appropriate link. Lots of sources for Mutual fund reports that you´re looking for. Here are some. Money Magazine http://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/bestfunds/indexfunds.html Morningstar http://www.morningstar.com/Cover/Funds.html?pgid=hetabfunds Kiplingers http://www.kiplinger.com/personalfinance/investing/funds/? MutualFundRankings http://mutualfundrankings.org/ And you may want to take a look at this article on mutual funds too just so you have a little more info if you´ve got tax concerns. http://www.stanford.edu/dept/news/pr/93/930429Arc3288.html Ideally, you’d diversify by picking great stocks.

Hope that helps!

You may go through the current issue of Out Look Money magazine and read their comment of OLM 50 and select good Mutual Fund.

This is difficult! Traditionally the way is to pick the investment firms and/or fund managers that have done consistently well in the past. Not so sure it is as easy nowadays. Firstly you need to select the area of investment you prefer and then see what funds are available and how well they have done in the past. I would think that equity markets could do well over the next 2-3 years (or longer) and therefore I would go for that. But then if I were doing that I would go for a passive tracker fund such as an Index ETF. Another way to do it is a structured product, and you COULD do this yourself.

If you are working, make sure you use a Roth IRA along with any investments you make. I have the perfect fund company that may give you the 12 to 15% return your looking for. TR Price 1 800 638 5660 and the symbol of the funds are: PRHSX PRNHX PRWCX All have low fees. You can check them out on http://www.morningstar.com enter the 5 letter symbol in the quote box.

Choose mutual funds with low expense provisions (no commissions, less than 1% expenses, and no 12b-1 fees) No, you can't expect 12-15% return. Assume a return of 6% and be happy.

Morningstar is a good place to evaluate them. I prefer common stocks, much easier to select good stocks than funds.

You don't pick Mutual funds you just buy them from a dealer the mutual funds are stock picks which the company who sells them pick.
