The Most Concise, Data-Backed Mutual Fund & ETF Tools Available

Mutual funds and ETFs don’t advertise the taxes, fees, and trading costs that come along with them. And these unseen costs add up over time. When you use Personal Fund as your personal cost analysis tool, you have access to the #1 data platform to advise your clients on mutual fund and ETF costs and increase the likelihood of investment success. Enhance every portfolio analysis with industry-leading data and analytics that reveal the true costs of fund investments and help investors make more informed decisions.

Backed by years of economic research, our Fund/Investment Cost Calculator reveals each fund’s true price tag and estimates how hidden expenses will eat away at returns over time.

Game changing insights are at your fingertips with our customer-focused tools.

I love your web site. Use it often! It really helps me to show clients the true costs of mutual funds and determine which products will provide the best return for their investment.

Curtis Wethington, AIT Wealth Management 

Personal Fund’s portfolio analyzer showed me that I could save more than $350 per year by selling my $235,000 investment in one name-brand S&P 500 index fund and replacing it with a different name-brand S&P 500 index fund.
