Bigger is better
in Mutual Funds
Big-league baseball, jumbo hot dogs, king-size beds. Most
consumers believe that bigger really is beuer But when it
comes to mutual funds, it can be tempting to invest in smaller,
start-up funds that promise big results.
Investors can choose from more than 4,000 mutual funds, and
new funds are joining the market at the rate of two a day. Often,
managers of these new, smaller funds stress short-term perfor-
mance and unusual investing techniques. Some of these manag-.
ers may say that large funds are sluggish, unmanageable and
unable to maintain positive results. Investors who hold shares
of larger, established funds may listen to these fund managers
and mistakenly begin to focus on daily performance. They may
forget their long-term goals and switch to a start-up fund.
However, a recent study by Mutual Fund Forecaster showed
the value of investing in larger, more-established funds. T|ie
study analyzed mutual fund performance from December 1987
( the beginning of the slock markets rise) through the middle of
1994 In looking at all mutual funds available, the study found
that the six largest funds-all with assets of S10 billion or more-
achieved gams of any where from 112 percent to 212 percent. In
the stock fund category, the study showed that the five largest
slock; funds all outperformed the average stock fund ,The six
giant funds were represented equally by no-load funds and load
funds. They all follow conservative, value-oriented investment
philosophies, using a tremendous amount of research, mostpf
it internally generated. Obviously, if these funds didn’t
perform well, investors wouldn’t be pouring billions of dollars
into them.
When trying to hack your way through the jungle of mutual
fund information, don’t fall prey to the short-term performance
claims of some newer, smaller funds. While a strong stock
market may entice you to jump into one of these funds, you
could be unpleasantly surprised if the next 10 years don’t
produce the remarkable results of the past 10 years.
A better strategy might be to suck with established funds that
have long histories of consistent results. Clearly identify your
investment objectives, and choosy a fund that has historically
met these objectives. Then invest for the long haul. Don’t bail.
out when the inevitable market downturn occurs—mutual
funds are designed to meet specific objectives over time.
To help you find one of these established funds, listen to the
conclusion of the Mutual Fund Forecaster study: bigger is often
better.
