Find-A-Fund
The most complete source of Mutual Fund Information.

FreeEDGAR
An excellent site for accessing the electronic database at the US Securities
and Exchange Commission. Look for fund reports as soon as they're filed.
You don't have to wait for them to be printed and arrive in the mail.
Much easier to use than the SEC's own EDGAR site. http://www.FreeEDGAR.com

Also includes news and commentary on money-market activity, interest-rate
developments, regulatory issues, and fund strategies. http://www.ibcdata.com

closed-end fund. Fund data, charts, screening capability, and more. Some
services free, some require subscription. http://www.icefi.com
INVESTools
Besides usual mutual fund screening and reporting features, this site
functions as an online marketplace for independent newsletter writers.
You can sample their works or sign up for cut-rate sample subscriptions.

Invest-o-rama
Forget the corny 1950's name. Site claims to be the most comprehensive
directory of other investment sites on the Web, with over 9000 links in
121 catergories. But it's not a way stations, either. Plenty of research
and reading on hand. http://www.investorama.com

Your Financial Strategy Center. News and information on markets, investing,
real estate, insurance, autos, retirement and taxes. http://www.money.com/money/
Mutual
Fund Investor's Corner
Sponsored by the Mutual Fund Education Alliance, a trade association of
the direct-marketed (mainly no-load) funds. Fund info is limited to that
of member companies, but that's mainly what the do-it-yourself investor
would want anyway. http://www.mfea.com
SmartMoney

market updates, personal finance investing research tools and advice,
and up-to-the-minute stock and mutual fund news. http://www.smartmoney.com
