DLTNX vs. DLFNX

Am I dreaming, or is the much smaller (and a bit newer) DLFNX outperforming the much bigger and more popular DLTNX?

DLFNX: YTD, 1-year, 3-year: +4.66%, 5.71, 5.40.
DLTNX: 4.07, 4.34, and 5.45.

...OK, then. DLTNX has the edge over DLFNX over the 3-year time-frame by a mere .05.

    DLTNX achieved its returns with a lower Beta and has a higher 3yr Sharpe (though DLFNX's is none too shabby).
    Is DLFNX you sole core bond holding? If not, care to add a little spice? ADBLX YTD= 5.54%

    Actually, I don't want to add any more funds to the stable right now. DLFNX is my core domestic bond fund, yes. I also own MAINX. Not disappointing in terms of the raw numbers, but M* compares it unfavorably with its so-called peers. However, I think the portfolio there is difficult to match with much else. Yes?

    Also own PREMX. Also, MAPOX and PRWCX both own bonds, too.
    PRWCX =18.8% of portfolio.
    MAPOX = 9.1%
    DLFNX = 2.47%
    MAINX = 3.55%
    PREMX = 4%

    The all-bond funds are --- as shown --- is just 10.02% of portfolio these days. Thanks for the reply!
