| Inside
|  FundAlarm is a free, non-commercial Website. Our view of the mutual fund industry is slightly off-center. We help you decide when it's time to sell a fund, instead of when it's time to buy. The mutual fund industry is full of broken promises, arrogance, greed, hypocrisy -- the list goes on. We try to shine a light in the darker corners, and poke holes in balloons that could use some poking.

|  No Web site can tell you, unequivocally, that it's time to sell your mutual fund. But if you own a "3-ALARM" fund, FundAlarm believes that you should consider selling it. A 3-ALARM fund is one that has consistently underperformed an appropriate benchmark. You can tell if you own a 3-ALARM fund by viewing its FundAlarm data table. If you want to cut to the chase, you can view a list of only 3-ALARM funds. And if you really like viewing train wrecks, you can view a list of the "most alarming 3-ALARM funds."

What's happening at your fund?
| Whether or not you own a 3-ALARM fund, it's important news when the manager of your fund quits or gets fired. FundAlarm is the only resource, on or off the Web, that maintains a database of mutual fund manager changes. We also have some opinions, and we express them. The Highlights & Commentary page presents our take on the mutual fund industry in general. See why one writer has said that "FundAlarm accepts no advertising - and probably wouldn't get any if it did."
