Mind Your Words, Rekenthaler Reminds Fundsters

News summary by MFWire's editors

The right words matter, and that lesson applies to mutual funds and their investors just as it does for politicians and their constituents, Morningstar's John Rekenthaler explained.

Invesco[profile] conducted research with political pollster Frank Luntz, which found that words like "straightforward" and "fees" are superior to "transparency" and "costs."

Rekenthaler also commented on money fund reform, saying there isn't any real consensus on which proposed rules represent "best practices" for money funds.
