For instance under his 10 reasons to buy a mutual fund He states that diversification is better in a Mutual Fund than an individual can get. I think a truer statement would be that the concept of mutual funds makes it possible to get more diversification than an investor might get on his/her own. Actual diversification would depend on the funds mandate as well as the managements ability to invest. He then states that funds have greater tansparency than any other managed account. This would seem to be an overstatement since I doubt that Mr.Kinnel has audited all managed accounts and he does not state what he bases his opinion on. I know of no study that would back up his statement. I could go on about his overstatements and obvious misstatements such as, getting in and out of a fund every day at net asset vailue, until I had a book written, but that is not my intent. I think his book is a thinly veiled sales pitch and is of little use as an investment guide. ![]() The Olympic Games Torch throws new light on this community's unique way of working ...
