Best time to buy a mutual fund is once per year on the day after they go ex div on the capital gain distribution. It's a good way to engage in cost averaging while minimizing the "buying a dividend" problem. I believe that some funds also distribute twice per year or even quarterly to facilitate investors who prefer to buy in this manner.

Barron's publishes prior distribution dates by type to assist with this.
