Yahoo’s No-Load Fund Screener



I think it’s as good as Morningstar’s, and it has a good selection of preset screens, starting with Head of the Class. At this writing, that’s Oceanstone Fund, my no-load fund of the day. See:

Yahoo’s Mutual Fund Center opens with its list of l4 Top Performing Mutual Funds. Two are rated four stars by Morningstar and none is a five-star fund. Of the 14, only one is up double digits for the last 3 years, 12 months, and 3 months (JSGMX)—but it has a back-end sales commission supplemented by a 12b-1 charge. For me, both features are deal killers.

Even though its screeners compete with Morningstar’s, Yahoo reports Morningstar’s star-fund ratings.

All in all, there’s a lot to like about finance.yahoo.com.
