Morningstar: Investing News, Fund Ratings, & More
Best known for their one-to-five star ratings of mutual funds, Morningstar is a Chicago-based investment news company that provides stock market analysis; equity, mutual fund, and ETF research, ratings, and picks; portfolio tools; and option, hedge fund, IRA, 401k, and 529 plan research.
I’ve used Morningstar to research investments both personally and professionally since my days writing for SmartMoney, and I highly recommend them. You can get a quote and the latest news on virtually any stock or mutual fund without logging in, but creating a free user account lets you access a full stock and fund screen or do what I do—set up a trial portfolio and track its performance over time.
If you need more powerful investment guidance, a premium Morningstar membership gives you access to in-depth analyst ratings of thousands of stocks, mutual funds, and more.
