Learn About and Invest in Selected Mutual Funds

Know your goals. Selected Funds offers three distinct investments. Each investment has its own risk level. Your success as an investor directly relates to the clarity of your goals.

Choose your mutual fund. Now that you have a clear goal, pick the fund that best suits your objective. Selected Funds consists of Selected American Shares, Selected Special Shares and the Selected Daily Government Fund.

Choose Selected American Shares if you seek long-term capital appreciation gained by investing in America's most stable and successful corporations. Read more about this long-term investment on the Selected Funds Web site (see the Resources section below).

Check out Selected Special Shares. This less-stable fund looks for big payoffs by investing in the blue chips of tomorrow. The Davis Financial Group invests in promising mid-sized companies to earn long-term gains. Read the overview on the Selected Funds Web site.

Consider the Selected Daily Government Fund, which invests in stable U.S. securities to earn short-term capital. Though the fund is not a wise long-term investment, its gains are usually greater than those of a savings account.

Read the prospectus of each fund before you invest to learn its risks, strategies and goals. You can download this essential reading for any investor from the Web site.

Pay attention to fees. Since each fund is guided by a financial group, the operation costs fall on the investors. Check the prospectus to see if there are any investment or liquidation fees associated with your fund.

Brush up on your investment ABCs. Visit the Investment FAQ Web site to read about financial basics (see Resources below).

Invest! Now that you're familiar with the funds, it's time to make an investment. Mail, wire or call Selected Funds with your investment. Good luck!
