Seafarer versus Wasatch competition since 8/27

edited October 2012 in Fund Discussions
With all the discussion that's taken place here regarding Seafarer (SFGIX), I thought I'd provide some very short-term performance statistics on Seafarer vs. Wasatch Frontier Emerging Small Countries(WAFMX). I invested identical small amounts in both on 8/27. Here are the results through 10/2:

Seafarer +4.84%
Wasatch + 7.52%

Nice action in just 36 days from both funds but Wasatch has outperformed so far by 55%. On a day by day basis, Wasatch seems to have better downside resistance.

    why are you comparing small caps to large again? it is as relevant as the fact that my new car accelerates rapidly...also, "outperformed by 55%", "downside resistance"... i truly hope your post meant to be a joke.

    not to mention the two funds don't compare very well from where are supposed to invest.
