The eight mutual fund families being added – Vanguard, Fidelity, Pimco, T. Rowe Price, Dodge & Cox, American Century, Dreyfus, and ING – provide a total of 250 no load mutual funds to streamline options for investors using ShareBuilder.

Background:
Mutual funds have been the number one product enhancement requested by the ShareBuilder customer base for over 5 years and continue to be a top search term at Sharebuilder.com. A survey of the ShareBuilder customer base revealed that the average investor would prefer to select mutual funds from a short list of funds, as opposed to having access to the universe of all funds. These study results confirmed ShareBuilder’s belief that a streamlined offering from leading fund families will make it easier for our customers to meet their individual investing and portfolio diversification needs.
