1.
Why should you study the funds in the average market capitalization section of Morningstar's style box in more detail?
The funds differ in size. Further study can tell you which funds might perform better in different market conditions; for example, very-small-cap funds might do well in an environment that favors very small companies.
2.
Sector weightings in a fund tell you what?
What industries your manager favors. If a fund has 50% of its portfolio in the technology sector, for example, half of its performance will be determined by the strength or weakness of that one sector.
3.
A fund's turnover rate tells you what?
How frequently the manager trades the portfolio. Buy-and-hold managers will have lower turnover rates than managers who buy and sell stocks on short-term factors.
4.
A fund's number of holdings tells you how much sector risk a fund is taking on.
False. The number of holdings tells you how much per-issue risk a fund is taking on.
5.
Price/earnings multiples tell you what?
How much price risk a fund is taking on. The greater a fund's price/earnings multiple, the greater its price risk.
