FYI:
It hasn’t been a great year for the markets so far. The S&P 500 is down around 5% year-to-date and volatility is unnerving investors and scaring away new buyers. With a potential bear market threatening to drag down the broader averages, finding a winning investment presents a bit of a challenge.
However, even in a rough market, not all sectors react the same. There’s always a bull market out there, it just takes a bit of looking to find it. Using mutual funds to invest can be a good way to take advantage of growing industries while using diversification to hedge against downside risks.
If you’re looking for growth in this environment, you might want to take a look at our list of the best-performing mutual funds year-to-date.
