Start a Successful Mutual Fund: The Step-by-Step Reference Guide to Make It Happen |
Gerber, Melinda |
More Info |
Comment from member: As a guide for either the complete novice or the long-time investment industry professional, this book is hard to beat. It is a veritable step-by-step "cookbook" with detailed explanations of all the areas which must be dealt with in the process. The book covers the process of creating, registering, marketing, and operating an independent mutual fund (it does NOT deal with the issue of running the actual fund's investment portfolio).
In particular, the inclusion of very specific timelines/steps for planning both up to, and after, the launch of a fund should be a big help to interested readers. Highly recommended to any investment professional who ever wondered "what if...." when it came to the notion of setting up their own fund. |
