V.7:12 (445-448): Beat The Market With No-load Mutual Funds By Gary Zin, Ph.d.
beat the market with no-load mutual funds by gary zin, ph.d. in the past, i have invested in mutual funds based on their long-term performance, typically requiring that a fund's five-year history exceed the compounded return of standard & poor's 500-stock index (s&p 500). in general, a diversified portfolio based on this criteria will do well, perhaps slightly exceeding and rarely falling far behind the stock market. but, the portfolio generally does not substantially exceed the returns of an index fund representing the broad market. there is substantial evidence to support the premise that stocks (or commodities) outperforming the market with strong momentum generally continue to outperform the market. likewise, mutual fund managers whose investment styles and philosophies have outperformed the market tend to continue outperforming the market. in light of this, i've developed a technique to identify and select mutual funds that are most likely to continue substantially exceeding the broad market returns. momentum measurements mutual fund selection systems are not new. dr. donald rugg presented his momentum measurement index for mutual funds at computrac's 1988 tag x seminar. he calculates a fund's percent change in net asset value for one, three, six and nine months and adds the four percentages together to create a performance index that emphasizes the most recent performance. the higher the index, the better the mutual fund's performance....

V. 4:1 (29-30): The Handbook For No-load Fund Investors By Bill Dunbar
the handbook for no-load fund investors by bill dunbar this book is up-to-date and effective in almost all respects. i'd say it's well worth the money to anyone interested in mutual funds. also, if there is an investor left among us who still thinks he is deriving some benefit from a loading charge, he shouldn't have to read beyond the preface to be relieved of such fantasies. though it treats the entire span of investment objectives, the emphasis is on "aggressive growth" and on switching funds every 'one to four years' as required by the rise and fall of individual funds and by the ups and downs of the general market. the first half of the book is devoted to informative text material including all important aspects of mutual fund investing, and terminating with a glossary of mutual fund terms. the authors have made it interesting and convincing with historical sketches, sample graphs and supporting statistics. the funds are categorized in the usual fashion in accordance with objectives or type of portfolio, i.e., aggressive growth, growth, growth-income, income, bonds, municipal bonds, money market, other classifications, closed-end and dual funds....

V.8:12 (456-459): Perennial Mutual Funds: Staying With Winners By Palmer Wright, Ph.d.
perennial mutual funds: staying with winners by palmer wright, ph.d. in past issues of stocks & commodities, fay dworkin and gary zin have advocated selecting stock mutual funds on the basis of relative performance over periods of one to nine months. zin rejected the additional use of five- r year performance because requiring funds to exceed a market index over the longer period did not improve his shorter-term momentum approach. focusing on any five-year performance list is of limited value, whether the ranking is end-of-year or current. such "winners" usually fall off the list within a few months. needed are sustainable, or "perennial," long-term winners, funds that continue top five-year performance in the worst climate as well as the best. how to find such funds? my detection method isolates no-load mutual funds with cyclical endurance. the five-year returns of the top equity funds move in cycles between maximum and minimum values. this is the primary basis for selecting the funds that stay on the top 30 list. by definition, perennial funds are those remaining on top through both extremesthe highest and lowest returns on investment. they have sustained a superior performance in both the best and worst five-year periods, usually about a year apart, though since 1976 the half cycles have been as short as six months and as long as 27....

V.9:10 (396-400): Paul Merriman On Mutual Fund Timing By Thom Hartle
paul merriman on mutual fund timing by thom hartle paul merriman, founder and president of the merriman investment management company, manages the portfolio of the merriman mutual funds. he also publishes a newsletter and hotline service called "fund exchange," specializing in market timing no-load mutual funds. he wrote market timing with no-load mutual funds, which was published 1987, and has a new book due out in january 1992, investing for a lifetime. merriman's philosophy is that the main purpose of timing is not to maximize profits in a bull market but to limit losses in a bear market. then, he says, long-term profits will take care of themselves. stocks & commodities editor thom hartle interviewed paul merriman on july 24 via telephone, talking about, among other things, what kind of systems he uses to time mutual funds and how he applies those systems' signals to his $140 million portfolio. "market timing techniques not only help get people out of the market unemotionally, but it has them out of the market as much as 40-50% of the time, which must lower the risk of the investment."paul merriman...

V.4:1 (18-21): Mutual Funds By Bill Dunbar
mutual funds by bill dunbar a basic look at mutual funds: who they are for, how to choose one, why and when to switch. also included are several sources of information to use to get specifics when deciding on a mutual fund. in the past, critics of the dow theory have said, why worry about the averagesyou can't invest in the averages. well, you can now, of course, by putting your money into index options or futures. but, with options, the house takes a big bite and you have to guess not only what the market is going to do, but also, within a few months when it is going to do it. that's a pretty tough combination to beat, but there is a much older and more reliable way to bet on the averages, one in which the odds are more in your favorinvestment companies. granted, you don't have the leverage, but leverage works both ways, and with just a little bit of work, you can do better than the averages by selecting the best funds or by timely swapping. investment companies can be classified as either open-end or closed-end. closed-end companies have a fixed number of shares and they are traded on the market just like individual stocks at prices determined by supply and demand rather than net asset value (the total value of holdings divided by the number of shares outstanding). open-end companies (usually called "mutual funds"), on the other hand, issue as many shares as they wish, depending on the amount of investors' money they have to buy securities. the mutual funds can then be divided into two categories, those that charge a sales commission (or "load") and those that don't (no-load funds). superimposed on that grouping there is a cross-breakdown of innumerable categories by objective, such as capital growth, income, tax-free, or special industry group....

V.9:7 (267-269): Asset Management Funds In Review By Charles Idol
asset management funds in review by charles idol many small investors would be grateful for a service that adjusted their portfolio for diversification and modified the mix to meet the changing financial climate. while money management services have been available for such services, usually they required a substantial portfolio and charged a hefty fee. these barriers were hurdled in 1989, when vanguard and fidelity, the giants of the mutual fund industry, among others, introduced money management funds. enough time has passed to permit evaluation of their performance. how did they do? vanguard calls its money management fund the asset allocation fund, while fidelity refers to its fund as the asset manager fund. the funds are similar in more than name: each has a policy of diversification among stocks, bonds and cash reserves, and each has the objective of solving the difficult problem of timing. the mix of the fund holdings is adjusted to maximize return and minimize risk by anticipating market conditions. fidelity makes these decisions in-house, while vanguard employs the mellon capital management corporation as investment adviser for the fund. minimum initial investment is modest for each fund: vanguard requires $3,000, and fidelity $2,500. subsequent investments may be as little as $100 or $200. both funds offer automatic reinvestment of distributions, and both are no load....

V.13:11 (463-469): Trading Munibond Funds With Munibond Futures By Dennis Meyers
trading munibond funds with munibonds futures by dennis meyers, ph.d. designing a trading system is simply establishing a set of rules and back-testing them in the market. and there are different approaches and different markets to trade. here's one example of developing a system to time entries into and exits out of municipal bond funds. what are municipal bond funds? they are mutual funds that hold only municipal bonds in their portfolio. these funds have gained some popularity in recent years because the interest from these fund types are exempt from federal taxes. of these funds, no-load municipal bond funds provide the perfect trading vehicle for small investors who cannot buy municipal bonds directly. here's a new indicator that uses municipal bond futures to forecast the direction of no-load municipal bond funds. but first, a little background i began to look at no-load municipal bond funds in 1991 after i became unhappy with over-the-counter municipal bond dealers. owning a munibond fund is very different from owning a munibond. municipal bonds are difficult to trade in the over-the-counter market because of the large spreads and lack of a continuous market. municipal bonds are usually bought and held until the bonds are called or reach maturity. even though the market value of the bond moves up and down during your holding period, you can be assured of receiving the maturity value stated in the bond certificate at call or maturity (given if there is no default by the municipal issuer)....
