Note that M* year to date numbers are updated daily and the graphs include reinvested distributions. Other summaries typically update monthly or quarterly and the graphs are share price, not total value with reinvested distributions. Yahoo summaries include total expense ratio, turnover, yield, investment philosophy, and management information in a simple page. M* has a lot more information, but it is not as easy to find the basics.
