Business Week's sixth annual guide tells you practically everything you need to know as you invest in mutual funds.
Chapter 3, presented here, provides key basic information. It describes load and no-load funds, back-end loads, hidden loads, and which to choose depending on your investment strategy. It discusses investing through fund networks like Schwab OneSource or through advisers and "wrap" programs. This chapter also gives you a useful tour through a mutual-fund prospectus and explains the not-so-simple ins and outs of mutual-fund redemptions.
