The Individual Investor`s Guide to The Top Mutual Funds
The Individual Investor’s Guide to The Top Mutual Funds 2010 By AAII Staff Although exchange-traded funds have stolen the limelight of late, mutual funds have not lost their relevancy to individual investors. Mutual funds offer a cost-effective way to construct a diversified portfolio across a wide range of asset types. Mutual funds are liquid investments managed by professionals. Investors can opt to select funds that mirror index funds or actively managed funds that require a manager to make specific investment decisions. Traditional open-ended mutual funds still have an important place in many investors’ portfolios, and the need for quality information to judge and track these funds is ongoing. Many Web sites now provide current and historical performance data on funds, but it’s rare to find a source where you can easily compare similar funds on various criteria. AAII’s annual “Individual Investor’s Guide to the Top Mutual Funds” does just that in the following pages. The 29th edition of the Guide to the Top Mutual Funds covers over 700 no-load and low-load funds. The funds are classified into useful categories of similar funds to make comparison of fund alternatives more efficient and effective. This will allow you to dedicate more time to evaluating the better fund opportunities. How to Use This Guide Selecting a mutual fund, while less time-consuming than 4 investing in individual securities, does require some homework. No one should put money into an investment that is not understood. This does not require a detailed investigation of the fund’s investments, but it does require an understanding of the fund’s investment objective, strategy, risks and performance history. Individuals new to mutual fund investing can find explanatory articles in the Mutual Funds area of AAII.com [see the inside front cover of this issue for more on this]. Performance tables appear on pages 6 through 9. Table 1 summarizes the average performance and risk of fund categories and common index benchmarks. Table 2 lists the 50 best-performing funds of 2009, and Table 3 lists the 50 worst-performing funds of 2009. Table 4 allows you to compare the performance of the 50 most widely held funds (funds with the highest total assets). While past performance is no indication of future performance, it may attest to the quality and consistency of fund management. Starting on page 10, funds are grouped by category and listed alphabetically within each category; the ticker symbol is indicated after each fund name. The listings provide information on a variety of return and risk data, portfolio composition, and fees and expenses. Index funds are indicated by the letter “I” before the fund name, and funds that are closed to new investors are indicated by the letter “C.” (A description of the characteristics of each fund category is included in the online version of this guide at www.aaii. com/guides/mfguide.) AAII Journal Guide to the Top Mutual Funds If you would like to request a copy of a fund prospectus and annual report, telephone numbers and Web addresses of the fund families are provided on pages 38 through 40. Make sure you read the prospectus carefully before investing in any mutual fund. Which Funds Were Included The funds that appear in the Guide were selected from the universe of open-ended funds tracked through NASDAQ. The following are the various screens we used to arrive at the final selection. Historical Record Generally, only those funds with three full years of data are included in the Guide so that there is a performance record of significant length and all performance measures can be calculated. Index funds with less than three full years may be included, as well as specialty funds of great interest to our members. Size Funds must appear in the NASDAQ mutual fund listings and are generally required to have at least $50 million in assets to qualify for inclusion in the Guide. A small number of funds with assets below $50 million are included in the state-specific municipal bond category and some of the new categories tracked in this Guide. Loads The decision as to what constitutes a significant load is difficult, but we took this approach in the Guide: Funds with front-end loads, backend loads, or redemption fees of 3% or less are included if the fund does not also have a 12b-1 charge. Funds with redemption fees that disappear after six months that also have 12b-1 charges appear in this Guide. Funds with 12b-1 plans and no front- or back-end loads are included in the Guide; we note, however, if the fund has a 12b-1 fee and what the charge is per year. A 12b-1 fee of greater than Guide to the Top Mutual Funds 2010 0.25% is considered to be high and excluded the fund from the Guide. Investors should carefully assess these plans individually. Funds that imposed a load that exceeded 3% or increased an existing load above 3% have been dropped from the Guide. Expenses Funds with significantly higher expense ratios than the average for their category are not included in this Guide. We have bolded the expense ratio of funds whose ratios are in the lower 25% of their category. Performance Funds that significantly underperformed the average performance of their category are not included in this Guide. Interest and Availability Only those funds that are of general interest to mutual fund investors and available for investment by individual investors directly from the fund, without restrictions, are included in this Guide. Unlike previous editions, funds closed to new investors are now included. Such funds are designated by the letter C to the left of their name. Funds Not Included AAII members who would like performance figures for no-load and low-load mutual funds that do not appear in this Guide can access this information on our Web site at www. aaii.com/guides/mfguide (covers 1,476 funds). A Key to Terms and Statistics Most of the information shown in the listing is provided by Morningstar Inc., but some may come from mutual fund reports (the prospectus and annual and quarterly reports) and solicitation of information directly from the fund. Any data source has the potential for error, however, and before investing in any mutual fund, you should read the prospectus and the annual report. When a dash appears in the performance tables or in a mutual fund listing, it indicates that the number was not available or does not apply in that particular instance. For example, the 10-year annual return figure would not be available for funds that have been operating for less than 10 years. We do not compile the bull and bear ratings for mutual funds not operating during the entire bull or bear market period. All numbers are truncated rather than rounded when necessary, unless noted otherwise in the following descriptions. In the fund list, return and difference from category numbers that are in the top 25% of all funds within the investment category are shown in boldface. When risk and expense ratios are in the lowest 25% for the category, these numbers are also bolded. Fund data in the state-specific municipal bond category are not bolded because meaningful comparisons cannot be made across various state categories. The following provides an explanation of the terms we have used in the performance tables and mutual fund listings. The explanations are listed in the order in which the data and information appear in the listing. Index Fund: The letter I before a fund’s name indicates that the fund is designed to follow a stock index, such as the S&P 500; the amounts invested in each stock are proportional to the firm’s representation in the index that the fund tracks. Because index funds are unmanaged, they make no research efforts to select particular stocks or bonds, nor do they make timing decisions. They are always 100% invested. This passive management approach means that the expenses and the cost of managing an index fund are extremely low. Closed: The letter C before the fund’s name indicates that the fund is not accepting purchases from new investors. Some closed funds may also suspend additional investments from existing shareholders. (continued on page 36) 5 Table 1.

This ratio is similar to a dividend yield and would be higher for income-oriented funds and lower for growth-oriented funds. The figure only reflects income; it is not a total return. For some funds, the yield may be distorted if the fund reports shortterm capital gains as income.

Return and difference from category numbers that are in the top 25% of all funds within the investment category are shown in boldface. Guide to the Top Mutual Funds 2010 Total Assets ($ Mil) rate. A tax-cost ratio of 0.0% indicates that the fund did not pay any taxable income or make capital gains distributions. If a fund had a 3.0% tax-cost ratio, it means that on average each year, investors lost 3.0% of their assets to taxes. The lower the ratio, the more tax-efficient the fund. The ratio is calculated using the last five years of data. Risk Index—Category and Total: The Category Risk Index is the standard deviation of a fund’s return divided by the standard deviation of return for the average fund in the category. The Total Risk Index is the standard deviation of a fund’s return divided by the average standard deviation of return for all funds. Standard deviation is a measure of return volatility and is computed using monthly returns for the last three years. A value of 1.00 denotes average risk. Values above 1.00 indicate greater risk than average while values below 1.00 indicate less risk than average. Risk numbers that are in the lowest 25% of all funds within the investment category are shown in boldface. ― ― ― ― ― ― Total Assets ($ Mil): Aggregate fund value in millions of dollars at the end of the calendar year. Portfolio (%)—Stock/Bond/Other/ Cash: The portfolio composition columns classify investments by type and give the percentage of the total portfolio invested in each.

These can include stocks, bonds, currencies, futures contracts and option contracts. This figure is meant to be a measure of portfolio risk: The lower the number, the more concentrated the fund is in a few issues. Percent of Portfolio in Top 10 Holdings: Investments, expressed as a percentage of the total portfolio assets, in the fund’s top 10 portfolio holdings.

Used in combination with number of holdings, the percent of portfolio in top 10 investments figure can indicate how concentrated a fund is. Expense Ratio (%): The sum of administrative fees plus adviser management fees and 12b-1 fees divided by the average net asset value of the fund, stated as a percentage. Brokerage costs incurred by the fund are not included in the expense ratio but are instead reflected directly in net asset value. Front-end loads, back-end loads, redemption fees, and account activity charges are not included in this ratio. Some funds are “funds of funds” and their expense ratios will not reflect the expenses of all funds held by the fund. Expense ratios that are in the lowest 25% of all funds within the investment category are shown in boldface. Max Load (%): Percentage maximum fee. The letter next to the fee indicates the load type: F = a front-end load (a sales charge incurred upon purchase), and R = a redemption fee that is incurred at the time of sale. A — = no loads or charges. Returns are not adjusted for loads, redemption fees or charges. 12b-1 Fee (%): If a fund has a 12b-1 fee, the percentage that the fund charges is given. A — = no 12b-1 fee is charged. AAII staff who contributed to this Guide include John Bajkowski, Jean Henrich, Alyna Johnson, Andrew Lautner, and Charles Rotblut. 40 AAII Journal
