Our Complete 2008 Fund Rankings

You can sort more than 3,000 domestic and foreign funds using a number of factors.

Every September, Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine looks at the biggest and best-performing mutual funds in the world. You can track continuously updated rankings of the top 25 performers in all key sectors using our Mutual Fund Center rankings tool.

But as an additional service to our magazine and online readers, Kiplinger.com offers our complete spreadsheets of 2,923 domestic funds and 572 foreign funds, as well as 194 exchange-traded funds, with results through June 30, 2008. Please note that these files will not be updated. You can use our rankings tool for up-to-date information. But these spreadsheets provide rankings for almost four times as many funds as appeared in the September issue of the magazine.

Maximum load tells you the highest sales fee for purchasing shares. Returns do not reflect loads.
