An application is described of developing, from Science Citation Index and Engineering Compendex, a database of journal articles focused on near-Earth space science and technology. There are thousands of funds, with different investment targets, money, bonds, real estate, commodities, etc. This flood of options creates a lot of confusion and makes a fund selection difficult. Mutual funds companies and brokers require as many participants as possible to boost their business, and they spend a lot of money on publications to educate potential investors in the advantages of mutual funds. The Internet is becoming an excellent medium to commercialise mutual funds.
Information can reach any person online at little cost.
With the World Wide Web, mutual funds groups can provide updated information about their products and, at the same time, other companies offer tools to evaluate funds performances. These resources are rapidly changing the fund industry, where, very soon, investors will be able to buy participation in funds families using the Internet. Most of the journals consulted by the authors were published in the USA, the UK, Nigeria and South Africa. A brief account of the present state of the art of the project, including the actual management set-up and Internet presence, concludes this part. Letter To The Editor.
