A good source for all sorts of information about mutual funds is available in the Business section of most public libraries: Wiesenberger's annual compendium (whose exact title escapes me -- it's a 9" x 12" x 2 1/2" or so book, bound in a maroon cover). It has some preliminary sections containing everything you've ever wanted to know about investment companies, followed by a listing of funds (with addresses and phone numbers), followed by sections with scads of performance results. Most libraries also carry the quarterly supplements "Management Results" and the monthly supplements "Current Performance". After spending a couple of hours with this and other sources (e.g. Forbes August fund ratings), you have a very good set of fund candidates; after perusing the prospectuses of your candidates, you can make a decision. [The Sequoia Fund is a fine one -- unfortunately, it's closed to new investors.]
