By all means, we investors need as much information as possible when 
investing in general, and in mutual funds in particular, in order to 
make a more concise and proper judgement on how and where to invest our 
money.
     
It seems that mutual funds want to hide too much from us, and that makes 
me all the more cynical of  the so called professional money managers.
     
I am invested in some mutual funds. But as I get more acquainted with my 
investment options and my ability to trade in individual stocks, I am 
beginning to find less interest in mutual funds. Perhaps giving us more 
information on our after tax returns, and less accounting gibberish, 
perhaps my staying in mutual funds will be more of value to me.
