Choosing a Fund

Risk taken without reference to your time horizon decreases the probability of achieving the required investment return. Add the complexity of the types of funds available for selection, (asset, sector, or geographic class) to the mix and choosing the right fund, or funds, becomes more a matter of luck than the application of investment intelligence.
