I track about 95 funds in the domestic equity category, including many of the usual suspects often mentioned here. Here are the top ten:

SEQUX (Which I happen to own in the taxable, and which is also now categorized as global)
CGDV
HFCVX
AIFIX
AICFX
AMFFX
VFMV
GQHPX
FEQIX
WSHFX
MLAIX (This would be tenth if I moved SEQUX to my foreign/global list

Notice which American investment company stands out? I'm guessing some of that is due to considerable overlap in their top ten holdings, but I haven't looked closely yet.

In case anyone is interested, QQQ stand at #30 on my list. SPY is at #50.

My foreign/global watch list only tracks thirty funds because there aren't as many that interest me, and there are just fewer of them on offer from the places where I do my shopping--mainly Fido:

BISRX
FIVLX
FHJMX
TRIGX
MEURX
BIIEX
SGOVX
DIVI
CIHIX
HDIVX

I don't track specific regions or categories like emerging markets, and I don't do indexes.

That is all.

    @WABAC why AMFFX and not their corresponding ETF, CGCV?

    No particular reason to begin with. Funds accrete over time, and some slough off after a while. There are only 100 spaces, and I like to keep five open.

    But now that I think about it, the OEF version has a longer track record for looking at performance over time. If they're one for one the same I would look at the ER before making a purchase decision.

    Do you know if Capital group structures its etf's the way Vanguard does?

    I do not know but I am 99% certain that CGCV is the ETF version of AMFFF, minus 31 basis points of ER.

    There are some differences, at least in the first ten positions on the M* quote page. CGCV holds more cash and has Marlboro (PM) in the tenth slot vice Meta.

    So I added it to my watch list and I see that its YTD performance of 5.67% falls between AICFX @ 6.32 and AMFFX @ 5.63. At three months, and one month, (the period of recent excitement), it is under-performing AMFFX.

    The fund isn't old enough to add to my watch list
