Mutual Fund Investing
Fund Screener Not sure which of the 11,000+ funds to choose from? Firstrade's Mutual Fund Screener will help you pinpoint the fund that matches your criteria. Simply choose the selection criteria, and let the screener find the mutual funds that meet your needs. Fund Research Get in-depth knowledge of a fund before you invest. Firstrade offers comprehensive research by Value Line, covering every mutual fund and providing you with the statistics you need to make informed decisions. Learn about the managers of the fund, check historic returns, mutual fund composition, and risk levels. Periodic Investment Steadily accumulate positions in a mutual fund without the hassle. By setting up a periodic investment plan, Firstrade will automatically transfer money from your bank account into a mutual fund of your choice, at a time interval you're comfortable with (i.e. monthly, quarterly, etc.). To benefit from periodic mutual fund investing, please set up the ACH Fund Transfer service for your account by submitting the ACH Authorization Form. This sets up a link between your bank account and Firstrade brokerage account, so you can easily transfer funds in and out at no cost!
Once you have ACH ready, complete the Periodic Investment Authorization Form and return it via mail or fax. From then on you can accumulate holdings in your favorite mutual fund(s) with peace of mind.
Dividend Reinvestment When a mutual fund you own pays a dividend, instead of depositing that dividend into your account, Firstrade can automatically purchase additional shares of the mutual fund using the cash from the dividend. This allows you to accumulate additional shares in the mutual fund and receive the same rate of return in the future for your dividends. Transfer Mutual Fund Holdings to Firstrade It is now easier than ever to transfer your mutual fund holdings from another institution to Firstrade, and enjoy the many advantages offered by Firstrade. Click here to find out how to Transfer to Firstrade. Transaction Minimums: Initial Investment - $500 / Additional Investments - $100 Redemptions of less than $500 will incur a $19.95 fee, unless the entire value of that fund is less than $500. Individual Funds may have higher minimums. Please review the prospectus. Fees and conditions are subject to change without notice. *A Short Term Redemption Fee of $19.95 will be applied to redemptions of mutual fund shares held less than 90 days. For mutual funds transferred to Firstrade, the 90 day holding period will begin when the account transfer process is complete.
