A little more than 3 months ago, the Mutual Fund Site provided a couple of firm recommendations on where mutual funds investors should invest their money. As far as we were concerned, these were exactly where to invest, even though our gut told us at the time that then-current market conditions made such a task [...]
An interesting philosophy exists, whether you invest in mutual funds or straight equities, that suggests we can all know where to invest if we go against the current rather than with it. In other words, if we adopt a contrarian mentality, we stand see some sold long-term gains in our portfolios. As an investment strategy, [...]
Despite all of the press out there that suggests that high yield investments are not where investors want to invest, there is a small group of professionals (including those of us at the Mutual Fund Site) that believe that these mutual funds are indeed still favorably priced. But not everyone is well suited for high [...]
Our site has seen a lot of traffic coming in to see what our 2010 Top Pick has been… and why. Although more and more investment sites are starting to see the true potential in high yield investments, there is still a lot of negativity when it comes to these types of mutual funds particularly [...]

These are all great investment management question, even though few of them deal with investments, much less mutual funds or bond funds in particular. In reality, the best way to invest [...]
It should come as no surprise that the Mutual Fund Site has taken some fire for naming a High Yield Investment (one of the top performing Bond Funds of 2009 as it turns out) as its Top Pick for 2010. After all, Bond Funds were one of the best performers over the past year and [...]
Not very long ago, the idea of the income asset class, and bond funds in particular was to provide a decent level of interest income. A nice byproduct of bond funds was some of growth potential they had when bought at discounts or sold at premiums. Such mutual funds were rather blase, boring, even cookie [...]
As part of a press released issued today, the Mutual Fund Site is pleased to announce that its top pick is Janus Capital’s High Yield Fund (JAHYX).
