The 10 Hottest Selling Mutual Funds





Morningstar's Russel Kinnel found out the best selling funds in 2006 are not the trendist funds.

"For 2006, though, I was pleased to see that the trendiest stuff didn't make the list. No China funds, no Russia funds, not even a real-estate fund. Rather, the top-selling funds were broadly diversified, well-managed, and low in cost. True, there was an emphasis on funds with strong recent returns and many of the funds suffer from asset bloat, but those are minor concerns compared with buying supertrendy supercostly niche funds like the top-performing China funds."

From Morningstar:

American Funds Growth Fund of America (AGTHX)
American Funds Capital World Growth & Income (CWGIX)
American Funds Capital Income Builder (CAIBX)
American Funds EuroPacific Growth (AEPGX)
Dodge & Cox International Stock (DODFX)
Vanguard Total Stock Market Index (VTSMX)
Fidelity Diversified International (FDIVX)
PIMCO Total Return (PTTRX)
American Funds Fundamental Investors (ANCFX)
Davis New York Venture (NYVTX)
