Mutual funds are the dominant form of investment companies in the United States today, with approximately $7 trillion in assets under management. Over the past half century an important body of academic research has addressed various issues about the nature of these companies. These works focus on a wide range of topics, including fund performance, investment style, and expense issues, among others. MUTUAL Fifty Years of Research Findings is designed for the academic researcher interested in the various issues surrounding mutual funds and for the practitioner interested in funds for investment purposes. The authors briefly trace the historical evolution of funds, present important aspects of the Investment Company Act of 1940, and then summarize a substantial portion of the academic literature which has been written over the past five decades. "This book presents an outstanding wealth of information on mutual funds in a remarkably readable format. It is probably the most comprehensive work currently available on funds. The book sheds light on the numerous issues surrounding mutual fund performance and pricing and is an important resource for any serious investor." Kathleen A. Wayner, Bowling Portfolio Management, President and CEO

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This sequel to The Feng Shui Handbook is a practical guide to devising an individual feng shui chart and personal direction finder to see how personal characteristics affect the harmony of surroundings in everyday situations. In the first two sections, Understanding Your Place in the Chinese Zodiac and Finding Your Way, international feng shui expert Master Lam explains the personal influences in people's lives, including: one's place in the Chinese zodiac, with charts; one's relationship to the five elements - wood, water, fire, earth and metal; the colours beneficial to people born under each zodiac sign and the five elements; the yin/yang qualities of the trigrams of the I Ching - mountain, lake, heaven, earth, water, fire, wind, thunder; and an explanation of the energies of the creatures used for positioning in feng shui - tortoise behind, dragon to the left, tiger to the right, snake at the centre and phoenix ahead. With these tools, readers can choose the most secure or dynamic position in a meeting, the best vantage point for a sales pitch, the most relaxing seat at a restaurant or an advantageous location for a home, in harmony with their individual characteristics. Part three - Avoiding Common Feng Shui Mistakes - gives advice on how to correct colours, furnishings or furniture arrangements which disturb the energies. Part four, Building Your Feng Shui Model, applies the principles of feng shui in the home, in the street, in public places and at work. Master Lam Kam Chuen is also the author of The Way of Energy and Step-by-Step Tai Chi. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.
