Where can investors get a mutual fund’s prospectus?
The law requires that every mutual fund investor must receive a mutual fund prospectus no later than the time he or she receives confirmation of a purchase. Individuals can also request a prospectus from the fund company, or from the broker or financial professional through whom the fund is offered for sale. Many fund companies offer downloadable versions of the prospectus on their websites. People who invest in a fund through an employer-sponsored retirement plan may request the prospectus from their plan administrator.
