Welcome
Mutual Fund Observer's premium site provides fund screening tools, analytics, and ratings, plus additional commentary to complement our main site. Our ratings update monthly and our FLOW tool, which combines fund flow, assets, and return, updates daily.

MultiSearch, our main search tool, will sort through thousands of funds based on up to 300 screening criteria. Its Pre-Set Screens provide an easy way to get a quick overview on markets and notable funds. The example below depicts risk and return metrics for the Dodge & Cox fund family during the current market cycle, coined "The Great Normalization." Only a few of the more than 1000 metrics available in the table are illustrated.




Other tools include Flows, Family Scorecard, Dashboard of Launch Alerts, Portfolios, Category Averages, MFO Charts, and Quick Access Analytics, plus our legacy QuickSearch, Risk Profile, Dashboard of Profiled Funds, Great Owls and Three Alarm Funds.

Performance updates are posted monthly, typically on first Saturday of the month. Month-to-date performance and other ancillary info, like holdings, are updated weekly. Flows are updated 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month, but our comprehensive FLOW tool updates daily.
