The section about picking the right mutual fund does not answer the ultimate question of how to choose a mutual fund. I understand that there are many choices in this world, but once you covered the concept of diversification, the mutual fund section simply tells of a few types of funds. I would like to know more basic strategy on what to look for in a fund. If the Morningstar rating is all that matters, then why even have so many different funds? And are there any funds with lower ratings which are low because they take on more risk? Thus, can one strategically produce a higher return by hedging among high risk and low risk mutual funds?
