Mutual Fund Investor’s Web Usage (April 2002)

May, 2002

Mutual fund investors are becoming increasingly comfortable using the web, according to the sixth annual American Century Internet Adoption Study, conducted by the Kansas City-based investment management firm. Apprehension about security and privacy continues to decline, with only a quarter (26%) citing security/privacy as a concern in the current study, dropping from 39% in 2000 and the high of 74% just four years ago.
