Is now a good time to invest in mutual funds?

maybe and maybe not. It depends on quite a few things. What is your investment horizon? Less than 5 years, it may not be too good a time. What type of mutual funds? With some funds, no time is good. With others almost any time is good but some times are better than others. Are you going to have a regular investment program investing x amount monthly? If so now is a good time to begin if you are going to continue for more than 5 years.

It's always a good time for mutual funds as they average out their earnings.

If your in it for the long term, then definitely yes, its almost always a good time to get into mutual funds.

If your inestment horizon is long term i.e. more than 5 years then definately this is the best time to invest in mutual funds. I would rather advice you not to invest all your money in a go. Find the best fund and invest your money in 5 to 10 different funds and in instalment. Not in one go. Good Luck

I think so...some have come down in price with the last couple of market dips...( last May, this Feb..this Aug.)...
so now is as good a time as any.
Include some " international" exposure in your picks...its where the money has been and will be for awhile.
Or go the ETF route...and balance your international with some dividend paying stock ETF's ( DVY or PID )

Yes.
