Interestingly enough no matter which mutual funds were looked at, those performing best in the past ten years, have on average, managers who were longer tenured, and they were also the funds who charged less to manage money. It is said that six of the top 10 mutual funds did not charge loads either.
When dealing with mutual funds, always read their prospectus very carefully and understand that such things as investment return as well as principal value can and will fluctuate, thus it is always possible to lose money by investing in them. Also, though it's often used as a great indicator to invest, past performance, even in the top 10 mutual funds, is never a guarantee of your future results.
