My Investing Notebook :: Learning from the pros; making decisions on my own. ::

While at the Barnes & Noble today, I got drawned in by a title in US World & Reports: The 100 Best Mutual Funds for the Long Run. Sure enough, I found a few funds that I think are top quality.

Large Cap Value

The Yacktman Fund (YACKX)
Comparing it to Fidelity Contrafund, which is considered one the top funds, I can see why Yacktman is on top: 3 year return of 8.9% is much better than -0.2% for the Fidelity fund.

Foreign Large Cap Blend

Sextant International (SSIFX)
Very good returns. Better than Marsico Global, also a top rated fund.

Fidelity Canada (FICDX)
Very good returns.
