Welcome to the Mutual Funds Resource Center
Recent scandals
Unfortunately there have been incidences in which mutual fund managers
have traded stocks at prices other than reported to the investor. An
example is the use of closing share price for reported trades for the day
the investor request an execution of his shares. Whereas the mutual fund
manager may have received a more advantageous share price before the
closing share price is set. The
mutual fund manager retains the additional gain for himself or his
firm. Since there are usually large volume trades the gain may be
substantial even with a fraction of a share price.
