Will the mutual funds industry survive recent scandals? Yes, it will prevail as a preeminent form of investment, but with a changed mood.

Expect:

A slimmed down industry--less exotic, more conservative in operations

Boards that are genuinely independent

Increased early redemption fees to discourage rapid trading

An end to late trading, i.e., trading after 4 p.m. Eastern time

Stricter independent oversight

A boom in index funds because they offer lower fees with competitive performance and less active management

A boom in closed-end and exchange traded funds (ETFs) because they cannot be market timed, market timing having been an essence in the recent scandal.
