Domestic equity funds have topped international equity funds in six of the past nine months - the best run since an 8 out of 10 month stretch beginning in August 2002, according to Lipper and MarketWatch.com. Lipper cited slower global economic growth and higher inflation for the downturn in the performance of foreign stock funds. In 2006, the top 10 performing equity funds were all international. In 2007, that number dropped to 8. Today, there are no international equity funds in the top 10.
