In this web conference we will learn about mutual funds as a tool for long-term savings for families.

We will discuss the elements of a fund and costs associated with funds. We will discuss ways in which mutual funds fit into a military families’ financial plan. We will also learn about performance measures and important characteristics of mutual funds highlighted in the prospectus. Finally we will learn about ways in which we can make decisions using fund screeners. We will use several case studies to illustrate.

Dr. Michael Gutter will present this 90-minute webinar on behalf of the Military Families Learning Network's personal finance team.
