FYI: If betting on a stock market pullback is your thing, the mutual fund industry offers plenty of options. But InvestmentNews thought it would be interesting to provide some perspective on what a bear-market strategy might feel like.
Fund data gathered from CFRA and Morningstar Inc. identify the 10 worst-performing funds overall for the last 12 months, through Aug. 7. All were bear-market funds, which over the period declined an average 20.5%. Over the same stretch, the S&P 500 Index gained 17.47%.
