Given that there are thousands upon thousands of funds and trillions of dollars under management, mutual funds are a critical component of the investment scene. Many investors have a large percentage (if not all) of their retirement savings in these vehicles and though there is little need for day-to-day assessment, a periodic review is worthwhile. To that end, then, it is worth exploring where mutual fund investors saw the worst returns for 2011.
Readers should note that this was written with two weeks left in December, and final results may be somewhat different. Moreover, this analysis includes only funds that are open to new investment, have minimum initial investment requirements below $10,000, and assets under management of at least $100 million. (You might be carrying more risk than you think if your fund invests in derivatives. For more, see A Brief History Of The Hedge Fund.)
