And The Best Small-Cap Fund YTD Is ?: What A Dfference A Year Makes: 2015 Down -(36.93)%
It appears to be contrarian to making money. In your 5 year time frame, it has made about 60% less then the Russell 2000 index fund from Vanguard, NAESX.
More and more I think it is a scam to buy any domestic large, mid or small cap fund that follows an Index. A managers ONLY contribution is to adequately distribute between asset classes, like a balanced, global or allocation fund - maybe. The day of finding the best domestic large cap or the best small cap manager that will beat the index consistently is a joke played on all of us here.
