Yesterday, ShareBuilder announced the addition of eight prominent mutual fund families: Vanguard, Fidelity, Pimco, T. Rowe Price, Dodge & Cox, American Century Investments, Dreyfus, and ING. ShareBuilder focused on a short list of 250 total funds from these highly regarded fund families to streamline options for investors.

"Our goal is to take the guesswork out of selecting a mutual fund -- which is why we've streamlined our offerings to a pre-screened set of high-value fund families," said Dan Greenshields, president of ShareBuilder. "We're giving our customers access to industry-leading, professionally managed, no-load funds with a proven track record for delivering low-cost investments."

Mutual funds have been the No. 1 product enhancement requested by the ShareBuilder customer base, and continue to be a top search term at sharebuilder.com. A survey of the ShareBuilder customer base revealed that the average investor would prefer to select mutual funds from a short list of funds, as opposed to having access to the universe of all funds. These study results confirmed ShareBuilder's belief that a streamlined offering from leading fund families will make it easier for customers to meet their individual investing and portfolio diversification needs.
