1.
What is not something funds typically do to handle asset growth?
Own fewer stocks. Funds can close or change their strategies when faced with too many assets, or the fund managers may hold cash or buy more stocks.
2.
If you're a mutual fund investor concerned about asset growth, what should you do?
Favor funds with low turnover rates. The less a fund trades, the lower its trading cost. Aggressive, fast-trading funds will only be hurt more by asset growth. And by avoiding all small-company funds, you're missing out on a large part of the market.
3.
Why can very large funds have difficulty buying very small stocks?
Because it's tough to put large dollar amounts to work in a small stock without affecting its share price. Small-cap stocks take up less than 10% of the U.S. market's overall assets; large caps, meanwhile, account for about two thirds of the U.S. market. It's therefore easier for a fund manager with a lot of assets to buy bigger companies than to own a small fry.
4.
When it comes to buying stock for itself, the larger a fund is, the _______ it will be to boost a stock's share price.
More likely. It will help boost a stock's share price simply by bidding on its shares, and the larger the fund is, the bigger the effect will be.
5.
Once a fund closes, it does not take in any more investments from existing shareholders.
False. Many funds do actually continue to take in new investments from their existing shareholders after they close.
