About Me

My name is Michael Hayes, and I'm the author of Great-Mutual-Funds.com. I am also a mutual fund specialist and an investor as well. This website is a place where I share my ideas openly with regular investors.

Yes, that's a picture of me at work!

I still work in the mutual fund industry, helping investors and financial advisors every day. This website is a way for me to continue helping investors on a much larger scale.

On this page, I'll tell you a little about my experience and how I became an investor.

Before I get started, do you have any questions, comments, or concerns about the website? If you do, please submit them here.

Now that we've done that, the best place for me to start is at the beginning of my career in mutual funds.

My Career In Mutual Funds

When I started my career, I was speaking with investors every day. I helped them understand their investments, plan their finances, and learn about mutual funds. I quickly learned that many investors had misconceptions and fears about investing.

But some of my clients had already achieved their own success and were earning a LOT of money.

During the first few years of my career, I started to learn how these professional investors put their investment plans together.

Almost all of them had three things in common: discipline, determination, and common sense.

These investors knew exactly how to put together an investment plan. They understood where to find the best investment opportunities. They were doing incredible things with their investments.

I was even more amazed when the best investors in the industry began to show me how to invest like a pro!

They were happy to pass on their knowledge to someone who appreciated their experience and took them seriously. I admired the level of success they had achieved. Many of them were happy just to have me spend time with them and discuss investing.

Eventually I began to put their ideas to work.

How I Became An Investor

It was unbelievable simple.

Once I started following the advice of the professional investors I knew, I learned a few important lessons:

1. Successful investing means persistently following a few simple investment principles.
2. Your level of success depends on how much you are willing to learn and how much you are willing to invest.
3. Having a good investment plan (and following it) is the best thing you can do to reach your financial goals.

Unfortunately, most people have not had the opportunity to learn the lessons that I have.

Successful investing isn't taught in elementary school or high school. Also, most parents don't teach their children how to invest successfully. Even if you do go to college and study finance, you won't learn everything you need to know to invest like a professional.

There is a lot of information out there on how to invest. However, most of what the media says about investing is either dead wrong or completely irrelevant.

So how do people expect to succeed if they don't know how to invest correctly?

Starting This Website

By that time I had gained a lot of experience in my career and as an investor. In addition to helping investors, I was now consulting with financial advisors on how to improve their businesses and connect with investors.

In fact, I'm still doing that every day.

So I found an amazing web hosting company and started this website.

This website is dedicated to helping investors learn about mutual funds. My purpose is to help people invest like a professional by protecting their money, earning great returns, and achieving their financial goals.

Thank you for visiting. Please, take a look around and make yourself comfortable.

I honestly hope you learn something on this site that brings you one step closer to success! If you have any questions about the website or about investing in mutual funds, please contact me.
