Here is some info on Mutual Shares and Mutual Qualified from this year's
Forbes mutual funds surveys.  This is 10 year data for Mutual Shares, since
the fund's inception for Mutual Qualified.

		Qualified	Shares
Up performance:	D		C
Down perform:	A		A+

(performance in up markets and down markets, rated from A+ down to F.)

Average annual return: -	21.6%   (S+P 500: 12.5%)
					(no number computed for Qualified)
Total return,
last 12 months:	21.0%		22.7%	(S+P 500: 30.9%)

Dividend return,
last 12 months:	6.2%		7.3%	(S+P 500: 4.2%)

Total assets:	$308M		$776M

% change in assets
since last year: 181%		110%

Annual expenses,
per $100:	0.81		0.73

Both are no-load funds.  These numbers mean that Mutual Shares is a decent
fund which has outperformed the indices for the last 10 years.  You could
do worse.  Of course, there are other funds that have done even better.

These funds are distributed by Heine Securities, 800-457-0211 or
212-908-4047.

As I keep saying, if you really care about choosing a mutual fund, you
should go down to your library and look up the September 16 issue of Forbes
which has ratings like these for most every fund there is.
