How can I learn more about the funds offered in my plan? 
There are almost as many sources of information as there are funds!

First of all, you can request a fund fact sheet or prospectus, either from your plan sponsor or directly from the company offering the fund.

There are also some great mutual fund information resources on the Internet like Microsoft Investor, Individual Investor Online, Yahoo Finance and CBS Marketwatch, just to name a few. You can also check the Internet or your local public library's reference shelves for Morningstar Mutual Funds and Value Line's Mutual Fund Survey.

Financial magazines are another useful place to look for mutual fund information. Publications such as Business Week, Kiplinger's, Worth, and Money are examples of magazines that might prove helpful.
