We're here to help. Every year, we put together a list of our 25 favorite no-load funds called the Kiplinger 25, aiming to offer you solid choices for a diverse portfolio that will help you beat the market. While the broad stock market, as measured by Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index, returned just 4.4% annualized over the past ten years through April 24, many funds in the Kip 25 have done better than that. Much better.
