FUNDS
Learn More About Your Favorite Funds

We call them the Kiplinger 25 -- the best 25 stock funds you can buy. Use the links below to retrieve detailed reports on each fund. The reports contain performance data as well as risk comparisons, top holdings, contact information and more. And as a special bonus, we tossed in reports on our top five bond fund picks too.

Also see how these funds work together in three fund portfolios for long-, medium- and short-term investors.

Your favorite fund not on our list? You can still access its full report. Type the fund's symbol in the "stock price" box at the very top of this page and click "go." Kiplinger.com will retrieve an abbreviated report called the "Fund Snapshot" first. To get the extended details, select "Mutual Fund Full Report" from the drop-down menu.

And don't forget to enter your favorite investments into our Portfolio Tracker to help you follow their performance over time.
