Howdy eaa91943-ga,

It might help researchers to know the name of the mutual fund.  Thanks!

Every mutual fund is required to provide a prospectus.  Among other
things, it shows their current holdings.
Many big name mutual funds provide these online as well as mailing
them to you.  They are also required to show you a prospectus before
you purchase any shares of the fund.

without knowing the fund and without making this more complicated than
need be, i am ivory soap, 99.99% sure, that your fund company has a
shareholder relations 800 number. at your leisure and convenience,
dial it. when they answer the phone, ask your question. they will be
thrilled to tell you everything they are allowed to tell.

When I had money in mutual funds, they always sent at least an annual
report with detailed lists by industry of all stocks in the funds
portfolio.  Maybe the quarterly reports were only by industry.
Here is one fund of the Vanguard group.  If you click on "Portfolio
Holdings down at the left you will get a list of all stocks in  the
portfolio.

Check to see if you can similar information online for your fund.

Good luck, Myoarin
