Don't Buy These Top-Performing Funds
By Amanda B. Kish,
Investors have notoriously short attention spans. They focus too much on recent market events, quickly forgetting the hard-learned lessons of years past. Considering only the past six or 12 months of performance is a sure way to make costly investment mistakes. Don't believe me? Let's take a close look at some of the best-performing funds so far this year.
Topping the charts
To date, the 2008 market has been truly challenging for most equity funds. But if we examine year-to-date returns through the end of May, these funds rise to the top:
United States Natural Gas Fund (AMEX: UNG)
45.4%
PowerShares DB Energy (AMEX: DBE)
35.9%
PowerShares DB Oil (AMEX: DBO)
32.4%
United States Oil (AMEX: USO)
31.3%
UltraShort Health Care ProShares (AMEX: RXD)
18.1
Impressed? Thinking about buying in? If you are, imagine me slapping your hand with a ruler. Focusing on short-term performance is a definite no-no. Despite these strong YTD returns, Fools should not want to own any of these funds.
Focus on the long term
Remember that short-term returns are exactly that: short-term. The five funds that currently top the year's performance charts hold very volatile asset classes, and they're just as likely to end up at the bottom of the list in the next six months.
It may be tempting to try to catch some of the hot performance these funds and sectors have experienced recently, but wise Fools know that's a losing battle. Focus on your portfolio's long-term goals, and block out all the short-term noise. Trends will come and go, but long-term strategic investing is forever.
