New! Morningstar Investment Resource Center




We're pleased to announce that Morningstar Investment Resource Center is now available as one of our electronic resources to help you start tracking your investments and plan for the future! This database offers not only the contents of the print edition, but much more. Morningstar provides up-to-date coverage on more than 30,000 mutual funds, stocks, and ETFs with analysts' reports for over 2,000 stocks and 2,000 mutual funds.
Screeners allow you to create lists of possible investments in mutual funds, stocks and ETFs.

Expert analysis, ratings and grades help you to make sense out of the investments that interest you most.

Portfolio X-Ray allows you to enter your current or prospective portfolio to check asset allocation, sector weighting, and other key variables.

Help and Education provides guides to the database and offers articles on investing, retirement planning, and tax planning.

Morningstar is available to all Sun Prairie Public Library patrons in the library and remotely to all City of Sun Prairie cardholders. To access Morningstar Investment Research Center, go to http://www.sunlib.org/, click on the Databases tab, click on Morningstar, and enter your library barcode number.
