FYI: We don't take kicking a fund out of the Kip 25 lightly. We take a look at how our rejects have held up.
Nobody likes rejection. But take it from us, it’s hard to do the rejecting, too. We believe in holding funds for the long haul, so we think of the Kiplinger 25 as fairly static, tweaking the list as little as possible. Since we launched the Kip 25, almost 70 funds have come and gone—about six per year, on average
