What is the best performing stock mutual fund in the aggressive growth category?

The aggressive growth funds have had a very dismal record these last 6 years. Almost all other categories of mutual funds have outperformed them. If you wish to look far afield you will certainly find some that have performed well, especially in the emerging markets category. Some of those have racked up impressive records indeed. But domestically they have been, shall we say a big disappointment. Investors sort of threw in the towel during the 2000-2003 meltdown.

Here are some "aggressive growth" funds that you might wish to consider. But remember they are aggressive growth and they might very well suffer a melt down similar to wth 2000-2003 fiasco.

IIF, IFN Funds that invest in Indian companies. 5 year annual return of IIF is 50%. Is that aggressive enough for you? 5 year annual grown rate of IFN is 45%.

CAF is a new fund that invests in Chinese A stocks. Talk about aggressive. Up 50% in 3 months. That is as long as it has been around. If I am not mistaken Chinese A shares are not available to foreign individual investors. Very aggressive. Also very risky.

Somewhat less risky but aggressive nevertheless is TDF and CHN. Both invest in Chinese companies. The 1st has a 5 year annual return of 34%. The 2nd 33%.

Then there are the funds that invest in Latin America.

LDF5 yr annual return of 38%
LAQ 5yr annual return of 34%

If you want aggressive growth, try a stock instead of a mutual fund. Mutual fund and aggressive growth don't even belong in the same sentence.

I like this fund: VICEX - The Vice Fund. I also like CHL for the long-term as aggressive growth.
