Funds that Hung in there today (Last day of February 2018).
Hi @bee I recall that Fido Retail was, I believe; the only regular equity with a positive of every type of equity (domestic/int'l). Outliers were a few real estate funds.....and this reaction was in relation to interest rates moving down a bit.
OREAX (real estate) was up slightly. Everything I have in high quality credit gained. Commodities & gold have been busted the past few days, including today. My hunch is that in the case of gold that’s temporary and the uptrend will soon resume regardless of equities. But just a guess.
HSGFX gained .64% and is now up about .80% YTD. Very rare for that fund to be ahead this late into a year.
MSEQX was up .46% today, but it looks like it was due in large part to one of its top holdings VEEV up 12%.it was my only equity fund up. Bond funds were all up though.

PONDX held onto a .08% gain. A similar return for IOFIX.
