How can I quickly compare mutual funds?

Compare Mutual Funds

One way to quickly compare mutual funds is with Morningstar's mutual fund style box. The style box is separated into 9 squares that each designate a style of mutual fund. Mutual funds are assigned a box depending on their size and whether they invest in "value" stocks, "growth" stocks or a blend of the two.

When choosing mutual funds for your portfolio, make sure that the funds you choose represent different areas of the style cube.
