- Did the person seeking info on the Preferred Group of mutual funds receive an
- answer? I searched on Dow Jones, found no address and deleted the message.
- That same day, we received a gift from a faculty member, Morningstar Mutual
- Funds Ondisc, which had exactly what was needed. This CD contains info on
- 2532 mutual funds. It is very wonderful!
-
- The family of funds known as the Preferred Group began in July 1992. It is
- made up of PFAAX - preferred asset allocation, PFXIX - preferred fixed income,
- PFGRX - preferred growth, PFIFX - preferred international, PFSGX - preferred
- s/t gov't securities, PFVLX - preferred value.
-
- The address is P.O. Box 8320, Boston, MA 02266. Phone - 800-662-4769.

- Last month I asked for help with mutual fund info. Thanks to all who responded
- - I ended up using Tradeline on Dialog. I was able to set up a program
- using my communications software to dial up the database and input all the info
- at the appropriate time (it waited for the ? prompt). It took a while to set
- up, but it turned a $75 search into a $15 search and there were no typos or
- pauses in the search. I just sat by and watched the screens fly by.
