To select the best mutual fund, we looked across several lists best performing funds to select those worthy of further investigation. Every mutual fund we screened was a health care/pharmaceutical or health services based fund. A chart was constructed for easy comparison, which looked at 2011 annual returns, the current share price, the Morningstar risk rating, the total fund asset size, and also the fund expense ratios. We looked for a fund with a low risk rating and a large asset size, for stability and to limit the potential for catastrophe. We wanted a fund that had done well recently and had shown a good annual percent return in 2011. Most importantly, we tried to select a fund with a low expense ratio, as that represents fixed fee that are removed from an account whether it does well or not. A high expense ratio can make a fund with a dazzlingly return percentage lose money for an investor.
