are their any mutual funds composed of Fortune's list of "The best
companies to work for"?

Clarification of Question by darkskies-ga on 13 Jan 2003 18:12 PST
the following is correct.

From: juggler-ga on 13 Jan 2003 12:54 PST     
I assume that darkskies is looking for a mutual fund that models
itself on Fortune's list of "100 Best Companies to Work For" (i.e., a
mutual fund that owns shares in the companies on the Fortune list).
 
Some companies on the list are privately owned so these would not be included.
Answer  
There is no answer at this time.

I doubt that any mutual funds themselves have any employees. If they
did, they probably would not qualify as mutual funds. I suggest that
your question might actually be, "Are there any companies that manage
the assets of mutual funds, or companies that sponsor one or more
mutual funds, that appear on Fortune's list ..." Perhaps you mean one
of those or the other or maybe both. Companies like The Vanguard Group
and Fidelity Investments do both of the above, but neither is itself a
mutual fund.

Yes, there are. 

You can start 
(1) your search for the type of mutual fund in this map
    http://smartmoney.com/fundmap/
(2) click on any of the sub-funds (eg. Vanguard 500 index) in one of
the type (eg. Large Blend) and in this case, MSFT, ExMobil & P&G are
there...

Personally, I would give mutual funds a bypass as it's overheads is
way too high... rather go for ETF, Index funds and selective stocks.
You may find this stock resource website to be useful for yr further
research http://tralvex.com/invest

Additionally, I also find http://fool.com to be invaluable in various
commentary.

Good luck.
