 The whole point of investing in a mutual fund is to leave stock picking to professionals. Therefore, the fund manager is one of the most important factors to consider when looking at a mutual fund. Researching a fund manager's past performance in the last 5+ years will tell you a lot; have they had consistent performance, or have they bounced around from fund to fund? Do they have a history of underperforming? |
