What is Spot the Dog?
Spot the Dog has been exposing badly performing funds since 1994. In doing so, not only has it encouraged hundreds of thousands of investors to keep a closer eye on their investments, but it has also pushed fund groups into taking action.
With investment, your capital is at risk. Past performance is not an indication of future performance.
In the latest edition of Spot the Dog:
-
The number of dog funds is down slightly, from 151 to 137, a 9% decrease
-
Still, we should ‘paws’ to note that this is still far higher than the 56 funds named a year ago
-
Global equity funds remained firmly in the doghouse, leading all other sectors with 43 funds on the list
-
US tech outperformance has meant fund managers who are underweight in this sector have dug themselves a sizable hole
