Some of the higherturnover ordsprog

Some of the higher-turnover areas, like small blend funds and mid-cap growth funds, have a problem delivering comparable returns to their peers when too much money flows into the fund.

Hedge funds are heavily weighted towards the small and mid-cap end of the market. With flows to hedge funds being the same order of magnitude as flows to mutual funds, small- and mid-caps' strong performance is no surprise.

Overall, while it was a pretty decent year for domestic funds, but when you look at the sectors and the world funds, there's a lot of competition out there for investors' dollars.

That way there are less likely to be any disappointments.

Investors who are in an actively managed small-cap fund that has had high returns for several years and has grown in size should expect management to eventually close the fund to new investors.
