Every fund company has its better and worse performing funds, but over time most every fund performs about the same according to sector, risk class, and investment objectives.
More important than selecting hot performers is proper asset allocation, systematic depositing, and regular portfolio rebalancing. If you allocate properly for your objectives, time horizon, and financial objectives, and you're disciplined enough to stick with it, you'll do well. It is wise to seek professional help from an independent advisor, and it can be found readily available free of charge.

there is no one best mutual fund, some funds will do super in a year and the next year lose money. best thing to do is own a small variety of mutual funds that spread out your money to many different kind of companies all over the world. call vanguard on their 800 number and talk to someone there, get set up to invest money directly out of your checking account into your investment account once a month, this is the easiest way to invest your money. do this your whole life and don't worry so much about the ups and downs of the stock market and you will be a wealty person....also make sure you have good retirement investments, roth ira, 401 k at work, maybe even a good annuity from an insurance company. key is to save every month and keep your hands off the money unless it is an extreme emergency.........and that is hard for many people to do. good luck to you.
