As I pointed out each fund has a set of guidelines which determine what they can buy. As the economy goes thru its cycles some segments do better than others. There are sites which track the performance of all funds against an index or multipal indexes. Some outperform and others underperform. What this means is that an investor needs to do their due diligence when picking a fund, not much different than picking a stock. Now with a fund you are spreading your risk across several equities. This mitigates the chance you will match the best performance in the sector or the worst. Investing in indexes or iShares does much the same as a fund without the fees or load.
