The Mutual Fund Fact Book is an annual reference guide to the American mutual fund industry published by the Investment Company Institute (ICI). It reviews the year, defines the industry and its structure, and discusses regulation, fees, and taxes. It provides both a practical guide for investors and an industry overview. The online version of the Fact Book is easy to navigate, and each of its seven chapters (all in Adobe Acrobat format) is filled with numerous charts and illustrations. The data section, filled with historical statistics, and glossary give it added depth as both a reference guide and research tool on the industry.
