Investment Education Workshop: Behind the Curtain: Ten Lessons Learned From Managing a Mutual Fund

    Discussed by:
    Louis "Lou" E. Conrad II
    CFA, President, COMPASS Wealth Management LLC

A behind-the-scenes look at the conflicts between mutual fund companies and their shareholders based on the experiences of Lou Conrad, a former mutual fund manager. The workshop will review the challenges that face mutual fund investors as outsiders and why you should invest with a healthy dose of skepticism. For example, many mutual fund companies focus on growing their assets under management, while shareholders may be best served by funds with smaller asset bases. We will discuss this and nine more lessons learned in greater detail to enable you to make better decisions when investing in mutual funds.
