Best stock based aggressive growth mutual fund?

I'm looking for a stock based mutual fund thats managed on the aggressive growth principle. I was wondering which has performed the best of the last 10 to 20 years, if its still available to buy in, if so how much/whats the minimum price to buy in, can you use a discount broker, can it be set up as a Roth IRA?

Almost all mutual funds can be set up into a Roth IRA through the mutual fund company that sells the fund. 10 to 20 years is a considerably long time most mutual funds have not been around so long as 20 years. There is also the question of whether the mutual fund record of 10 years ago still applies today. Most of the screeners available only screen for 5 year performance.

I can suggest some funds that have done extremely well over the last 10 to 20 years. They however will not necessarily be aggressive growth funds. Most of those took a real beating 5 years ago loosing as much as 1/2 or more of their value.

One that has done very well over the last 10 years is CGMRX a realestate fund. 19.6% annual return over the last 10 years and current year return is even better at 21%.

This is not what one would refer to as an aggressive growth fund however. But what the hell. It makes money. Isn't that what you are really after??

Here is a fund that has a very enviable long term track record.
PENNX. 30 year annual return 15.8%. If you are looking for a fund with a long term track record this is one to consider. Has had only 3 down years in the last 18. And even then it was not down much.

Now for the real classic of mutual funds. Been around since 1927. How about that? It is a closed end fund. GAM. Its annual return since 1979 is 16.2%. As far back as the records go. That is nothing to sneeze at. You can buy it like you would buy a stock.

Those are your best bets.

You do want to get your money out of ITW stock asap if that is all you have. Too much risk leaving it all in one stock. For old time sake you might want to leave about 5k in the stock but no more. Report It
