Factoid of the Day Monday, February 8, 2010
A very small percentage of actively managed domestic equity funds (index, sector and bull/bear funds excluded from universe) consistently repeat top-half performance, according to the S&P Persistence Scorecard. Over the five years ending September 2009, only 4.27% of large-cap funds, 3.98% of mid-cap funds and 9.13% of small-cap funds maintained a top-half ranking over five consecutive 12-month periods.
