BONUS REPORT $10 These columns appear only in the bond listings. The current yield is the interest you receive as a percentage of the fund's current price (if you receive $1 per share per year from a fund priced at $20 per share, the current yield is 5%). This does not reflect any gains or losses you may have due to the fund's share price rising or falling. The “total return” is the annualized return taking both the yield and the gain/loss into account. Duration is a measure of the portfolio’s expected reaction to a change in interest rates. The higher the duration, the more the portfolio will lose value as rates rise, and vice versa. These columns let you know if you can buy/sell the fund through the Scottrade, Fidelity or Schwab services. A “Yes” indicates the fund can be traded for a transaction fee. An “NTF” means you can trade the fund without paying any transaction fees. Fee arrangements may be different if the fund is held less than 180 days. A “No” indicates the fund is not available, but of course you can invest with the fund directly. “Closed” means the fund is not accepting new investors. This data is supplied by Morningstar and is sometimes out of date. Brokers frequently add new funds and adjust their fees, so always double check for the latest information. These columns show the total return for the recent periods shown. This is after all fund expenses; however, fund loads are not reflected. See Current Yield (explained at right) for more on total return. Performance momentum is a measure of a fund’s performance consistency over the past year. It is the sum of a fund’s most recent 3- month, 6-month, and 12-month returns.

A “relative risk” score greater than 1.0 means a stock fund is more volatile than the S&P 500, and a score below 1.0 means the fund has shown less volatility. For example, a fund with a relative risk score of 1.4 would mean the fund was 1.4 times (40%) riskier than the market. Scores for bond funds are based on their relationship to a bond index rather than the S&P 500. For more, see July2011:p104.

SIMPLIFY YOUR INVESTING WITH SMI’S

PERSONAL PORTFOLIO TRACKER

While this Fund Performance Rankings report contains every-

thing needed to manually track and Upgrade funds within a

retirement plan, we understand that it can be a labor intensive

process to do this, especially if your plan offers a wide selection

of fund choices. To simplify the investing lives of those with

401(k)s and other company retirement plans, we created the

online Personal Portfolio Tracker.

This tool, available to all SMI Web Members, vastly simpli-

fies Upgrading within a retirement plan by generating a per-

sonal report customized to include only the funds available

through your specific retirement plan. Every month, a single

click provides a report showing all of the funds available to

you—sorted by risk category and ranked by momentum within

their peer group. No more wading through the FPR pages look-

ing for your funds. Instead, as a web member, you can see in-

stantly if any upgrades are required within your plan each

month, and if so, which available funds are the most attractive

Upgrading candidates.

The Tracker allows multiple portfolios to be tracked in a single

account, so households with multiple retirement plans can track

them all from a single web membership account (for example, a

husband and wife with separate 401(k)s). The combination of

receiving new Upgrading rankings on your retirement plan funds

every month plus having the information presented in a fast, easy-

to-utilize format makes the Tracker a phenomenal tool for those

households managing company retirement plan investments. The

Personal Portfolio Tracker can also be used for regular accounts

and IRAs as well. If you haven’t used it yet, take it for a test drive at

www.soundmindinvesting.com/resources/portfolio-tracker.

USING THE FUND DIRECTORY

The fund directory at the end of this Fund Performance Rank-

ings report lists in bold type all of the funds currently ranked in

the top quartile of stock risk categories one through five. If you

are following our Upgrading strategy, you can find your funds

quickly in the directory and immediately see if they need to be

replaced. If a fund you currently own is listed in bold there, it’s

still in the top quartile and there’s no need to replace it. If it’s no

longer in bold, it’s time to investigate possible replacement

options in that particular risk category. Using the fund directory

first can be a major time saver for those utilizing the paper ver-

sion of the FPR.

PICKING A STRATEGY: “JUST-THE-BASICS”...

Do you prefer a simple, easy to administer strategy, one

designed to keep pace with the market rather than attempt to“beat” it? If so, our Just-the-Basics (JtB) strategy might be your

best choice. It uses index funds that are no-load, although

redemption fees may be charged on some. With this strategy,

once your money is allocated among the funds the way you

want it, usually your only housekeeping chore is the annual

rebalancing every January. That makes it particularly appealingto those who want their portfolio to run on autopilot for long

stretches at a time. It doesn’t get much simpler than JtB.

Just-the-Basics makes no attempt to “beat the market.” In

following this strategy, you settle for knowing the results in your

portfolio will be similar to that of the market as a whole. More

often than not, this means you’ll do better than the average mu-tual fund. It’s also a good choice for those without a large enough

number of fund options to allow for a Fund Upgrading approach,

such as those in 401(k) plans with limited fund choices, or those

setting up college savings accounts through a Section 529 plan.

Although many organizations offer index funds with which to

assemble a Just-the-Basics portfolio, Vanguard has the best offer-ings due to their extremely low cost structure. For more, see the

“Start Here” section on our website.

... OR “FUND UPGRADING”?

On the other hand, if you prefer a strategy that attempts

to do better than the market, then try an Upgrading portfo-lio. This strategy is for those who are willing to adjust their

mutual fund holdings frequently with the goal of owning

those funds that are demonstrating relatively superior re-

sults at that time. This fine-tuning of our fund selections is

called Upgrading. It is a more ambitious strategy that,

through the use of proven managers and a more active buy-ing and selling discipline, hopes to do better than a passive

index approach. Some years we succeed, others we don’t.

Returns for the past decade overall, however, have been

quite impressive.

For more background on the origins and philosophy of

Upgrading, see our bonus report Performance Momentum and

SMI’s Fund Upgrading Strategy.

WHERE SHOULD YOU OPEN YOUR UPGRADING ACCOUNT?

This is one of the first questions an investor grapples

with—and there’s no clear cut answer. The best home for

your account will be dictated largely by the investing strat-egy you intend to pursue. An investor who makes a lot of

stock trades would have one set of criteria; a mutual fund

investor would have a different set.

The easiest way to implement SMI’s Upgrading strategy

on your own is to open an investment account at one of our

three recommended discount brokerages—Fidelity, Schwab,and Scottrade. In addition to stocks and bonds, these firms

offer a very convenient way to invest in mutual funds, al-

lowing you to quickly and easily buy/sell no-load mutual

fund shares for your account without having to open sepa-

rate accounts at all the various fund organizations. They

perform this service commission-free on some funds or for asmall charge for others, and offer a large selection of no-

load funds from which to choose.

Any of the three will do a good job for you; however, in our

most recent broker review (see Feb2012:Cover), we concluded:

“Fidelity is our new top choice for most Upgraders, with

Scottrade earning consideration for smaller and/or fee-sensitive accounts.” Your personal needs and investing

approach will largely dictate the “best” broker for you.

SETTING UP YOUR UPGRADING PORTFOLIO

ing portfolio is provided in the “Start Here” section of ourwebsite. Simply click on the tab at the top of our home page.

INVESTING WITH SMALLER AMOUNTS

Starting an investing program doesn’t have to be diffi-

cult. By making a few basic decisions and taking a few easy

steps, you can begin a successful investing program. Searchfor “How to Start Investing With SMI If Your Portfolio Is

Small” on our website (June 2015 issue).

HAVING PROFESSIONALS UPGRADE FOR YOU

Readers wishing to incorporate the SMI Upgrading phi-

losophy into their portfolios without keeping up with themonthly changes themselves can investigate the Sound Mind

Investing fund (the ticker is SMIFX, see www.smifund.com

for information). The Sound Mind Investing fund can be pur-

chased commission-free by opening an account directly with the

fund itself. Essentially, you’re hiring the fund managers to do

the Upgrading for you. The fund managers have the addedadvantage of daily review and a larger fund universe. See the

performance box on the back inside cover of each newsletter

for details.

HOW FUNDS ARE SELECTED FOR INCLUSION

IN THESE PERFORMANCE RANKINGS

Obviously, only a fraction of the 23,000+ mutual fundslisted in Morningstar (our source for the performance data)

can be included in these Fund Performance Rankings. How do

we decide which ones? We select funds based on three pri-

mary criteria. First, we primarily target no-load funds. Sec-

ond, the no-load organization should have a significant

presence in the lineup of funds offered through Scottrade,Fidelity, and Schwab. And third, we are willing to add

those load funds most commonly offered through 401(k)

plans. Several hundred such load funds have been added in

response to subscriber requests.

• A word about different “classes” of shares. We recom-

mend no-load funds, but many readers are sold load fundsby their brokers. Typically, funds with an “A” in their names

are sold with a 5.75% front-end load and lower annual oper-

ating expenses. Those funds with a “C” are typically sold

with no front-end sales load, a 1% back-end load (which you

may not have to pay if you hold your shares long enough),

and higher annual operating expenses. It can be confusing.And repeated listings in our rankings of what is essentially

the same fund take up lots of space. That’s why we include

only one class. Templeton Foreign C fund (which we include)

is essentially the same as Templeton Foreign A, Templeton

Foreign R, and Templeton Foreign Advisor funds (none of

which we include), so you can use Templeton Foreign C as aproxy when looking up one of the latter funds in the rank-

ings. You can apply this logic to any funds that have share

class designations at the end of their names. For more help in

understanding fund-share classes, see Apr2013:p55.

• A word about fund names. Often there is a slight dif-ference in the formal name of a fund and the way that fund

is listed in the FPR. Usually this is due to Morningstar or

SMI using an abbreviation for space reasons. Examples:

“Opp” is often substituted for “Opportunity,” “Intl” for

“International,” “Gro” for “Growth,” “Val” for “Value,”

and so on. You can often verify if a fund listed is the oneyou’re looking for by comparing their ticker symbols, al-

though different share classes for the same fund will have

different tickers (see above).

• A word about “index” funds. As indexing has increased

in popularity, so has the number of index funds. We found

more than 50 listed in Morningstar based on the S&P 500 indexalone. Since all of these funds have the same goal—to replicate

the total return of the S&P 500 index—you wouldn’t expect to

find much difference in their performance results. What differ-

ences there are stem primarily from the fact that some charge

higher management fees than others. Because they’re all simi-

lar, there’s no reason to include all of them in the FPR. If yoursisn’t listed and you want to know roughly how it’s doing, use

the Vanguard 500 fund as a proxy.

All of the funds are listed alphabetically in the fund

directory at the back of this report. The result is a listing of

more than 1,400 funds. There are many excellent funds

(primarily sold with loads) which are not included because

we’ve not received a sufficient number of requests to in-

clude them. Their omission in this report does not imply

they are not worthy of investigation.

HOW THE STOCK FUNDS ARE ARRANGED

Funds are separated into risk categories based on their

portfolio strategies. In the SMI system, the majority of U.S.

stock funds can be placed into one of four risk categories:

[1] funds that invest in larger-sized companies with an eye tobuying stocks that are bargain priced (large-cap value), [2]

funds that invest in larger-sized companies with an emphasis

on fast growing earnings (large-cap growth), [3] value-ori-

ented funds that invest in small- to medium-sized companies

(small cap value), and [4] growth-oriented funds that invest in

small- to medium-sized companies (small cap growth).A value style generally has less risk than a growth style

because of the emphasis on buying at bargain prices and

holding for the long haul. Some funds specialize in one style;

other funds use a blend of both styles. (For our purposes, we

generally assign “blend” funds to the value category. This is

done because our research has shown that the blend funds’risk and return characteristics are more similar to funds in

the value group than they are those in the growth group.)

A company’s size is measured by the current market

value of all its outstanding shares (its “capitalization,” or

“cap” for short). When referring to the companies held in a

fund’s portfolio, there are several commonly used sizecategories. However, to keep things simple for our readers,

we use only two categories, placing every fund into either a

large- or small-cap category. Funds which invest in compa-

nies which range from very small to medium in size go into

one of our “small-cap” categories. The large and giant com-

panies go into the large-cap categories. This means we havefunds that own mid-cap stocks in the same group with

funds owning micro-sized companies. The differences in

performance between these two groups has occasionally

been pronounced, so we have admittedly gained simplicity

at the cost of some additional precision.

When we put it all together, we have four distinct types ofU.S. funds from which we can choose with some degree of

confidence that we understand the investment strategy and

risk of loss associated with each. The risk is lowest at the

bottom of the risk ladder (funds using a value strategy and

investing in larger companies) and highest at the top (funds

using a growth strategy and investing in smaller companies).Once the stocks are grouped with their peers, they are

ranked according to their “performance momentum” (see

table on front page). For the five stock risk categories fea-

tured in SMI’s model portfolios, a median is shown. �
