Mutual Fund Scorecards – Overture

The Wall Street Journal is full of great features covering the global business landscape. For our purpose here today, I wanted to highlight a feature that may be helpful to the investor who is wondering what investment returns look like over different time frames. The time frame is important. Namely, the past decade has been abnormal, to say the least. What I want you to see here is how easy it is; you can compare a fund based on many different factors: mixed funds - debt and equity; a fund based on small, medium, or large capitalized companies; funds based on growth companies, and those based on value oriented companies.





This is a good place to start. We can see how different investment funds have performed over various periods of time. This page can give you a fundamental view of how the market has performed in the past.
If you do your homework and connect with an adviser or an online investment service, you can develop a good understanding of how different sectors and categories of funds are performing. 


If you go to the journal’s Mutual Fund Scorecards page at http://online.wsj.com/fund/page/fund_scorecards.html, you’ll see a mutual funds selection box where you can pick the funds category, and there are many different strategies. You’ll see funds focused on commodities, equities , debt or bonds, and everything in between.

I picked the following funds to highlight fundamental strategies:

·         All Mutual Funds
·         Mixed Asset Target Funds
·         Small-Cap Growth
·         Small-Cap Value
·         Multi-Cap Growth
·         Global Multi-Cap Growth


If you click through to the FUND SNAPSHOT  you will find the funds Lipper ratings, the holdings - companies the fund invests, a description of fees, and much more investment criteria.
