Morningstar uses a five-star system to rate mutual funds, with 5 stars being the top-level rating and 1 the lowest. The mutual funds are all risk-adjusted, meaning that they account for the risk involved in investing in the fund.
Lipper uses an alphabetical system to rate mutual funds, with A being the highest rating down to E, the lowest.
Keep your tax advisor in the loop. Investing in mutual funds can have significant tax consequences. Make sure that tax programs known to the investments you plan to do.
Remember that past performance ranking is not an indicator of future returns. Your mutual fund may have fared well in the past only to tank in the future. All ratings and reviewers can do is to let you know how well the funds have done previously.
