What is the highest earning mutal fund?

Over what period of time?

According to Yahoo finance which may or may not be correct.

1 year Dreyfus Premier Greater China up 54%
3 year T Rowe Price Latin America up 48.46% annually
5 year U S Global Investors Eastern Europe up 40.63% annually

According to Forbes which again may or may not be correct.

1 year Ishares Malaysia Index Fund up 54% (this is a closed end fund and that may be why Yahoo did not report it, but Forbes reported Dreyfus Premier Greater China as only 48.5%)
3 year Ishares Brazil Index Fund up 52.9% again a closed end fund. Forbes reports the T Rowe Price fund as up 52.7% as opposed to 48.46% that Yahoo reports)
5 year same as Yahoo. How about that?

Among the closed end non index funds which for some odd reason are not ever followed by all mutual fund screening programs we have the following:

1 year Boulder Growth and Income up 110%
3 year Mexico Equity and Income up 58.15%
5 year Templeton Russia and Eastern Europe up 45.39%

Don't fall for it.

This varies by year (or month, or day, or whatever time period by which you're measuring). One thing is almost guaranteed every time - whatever yesterday's top performer was will almost certainly NOT be today's best.

Where you invest should be determined by your time horizon, risk tolerance, financial situation, and other factors.

Emerging markets mutual funds have been quite strong past few years. So have real estate and precious metals at various times recently. If you really want to invest based solely on recent performance, go with one of those. However, if you want to invest for best future performance, then either go with a Global fund (investing in both US and international) if a small amount to invest, or find a good financial advisor (such as Merriman - go to fundadvice.com) or find a source such as AAII (aaii.com) if a do-it-yourselfer. This last reference requires a modest subscription of less than $50 per year, and regularly reports on performance of the most popular mutual funds.

Don't know.... but it's most likely the last fund I'd want now.

Don't chase the past. Use an asset allocation model that fits your goals and risk tolerance. The number one predictor of Mutual Fund successful investing is the allocation model you use. Next is the "low fees". Next is past performance.

Good luck!

if your looking for above average returns look for foreign mutual funds lately south american funds, european funds and chinese funds have been performing extra ordinarily well but be careful investing in volitale foreign countries as they have substantially mor risks. I'd have to say europe is the safest foreign investment.

Otherwise look for a double weighted index fund that seeks twice the return of the index it corresponds too. go to proshares.com they have plenty of double weighted index funds. on top of that if you want even more return at more risk you could learn to trade double weighted etf's(exchange traded funds) on a margin in a margin account this would give you four times the return of the corresponding index minus margin interest but remember if you do this and the market goes down you will lose several times the losses of the index also

Don't know, but marrying my husband seems to have paid off as the most important financial investment I have made.
