Free Investment Research

As you start investing, you’ll want to learn as much as you can. Sure, you need to know how an investment has performed compared to the market (remembering that past performance does not predict future results), but you’ll also want to learn about the company’s business (in the case of a stock) or a mutual fund’s management team, expenses, and strategy.

Many top-rated online brokers provide free investment research tools to account holders. But if you aren’t ready to open a trading account or simply want a second research source, we recommend Morningstar.

Morningstar is one of the world’s largest independent providers of investment research, providing data on over 300,000 investment offerings and real-time global market data on more than 5 million equities, indexes, futures, options, commodities, and precious metals.

Morningtar offers both free and premium subscriptions; a free account gets you access to ample data, rating, and investment research to suit most individual investors.
