Out of the six funds we own, five are outperforming the extremely powerful NASDAQ Composite. The one that is slightly lagging is the Fund C, which has returned 6.7% over the 4-week period.  Over the same time frame, Fund D returned 9.15%, Fund B 10.17%, Fund E 10.66% and Fund A 10.9%. The current leader over the 4-week period is Fund F returning a very impressive 12.85%.

On July 24th 2012 we purchased Fund B and in our first year of ownership, it has vaulted 43.1% (Point J), helping it to outperform 94% of the 5069 funds listed on the [Morningstar.co.uk](http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/) website.   **[![The Big Picture August MARKETING v3 8](https://www.isaco.co.uk/hs-fs/file-246388669-jpg/images/the_big_picture_august_marketing_v3-8.jpg)](https://www.isaco.co.uk/hs-fs/file-247225501-png/images/TBP_Aug_13_Image_7_Marketing.png) ** ## 1 star fund delivers 5 star performance Some investors make the rookie error of purchasing a fund simply because it has a 5 star rating. They also avoid 1 star funds like the plague. This is a mistake. Many financial advisers do this to save time – as do plenty of private investors. It may surprise you that 1 star funds can turn out to be darlings and 5 star funds can turn out to be dogs. The ‘1 star’ rated Fund A is a classic example and it’s a fund that continues to impress us. This beauty has returned a remarkable 50.4% (Point K) in the 12 months since we bought it**. [![The Big Picture August MARKETING v3 9](https://www.isaco.co.uk/hs-fs/file-247523697-jpg/images/the_big_picture_august_marketing_v3-9.jpg)](https://www.isaco.co.uk/hs-fs/file-247225526-png/images/TBP_Aug_13_Image_8_Marketing.png)   ## Outperformed 98% of funds We were very pleased – and proud – to discover that Fund A’s 50.4% return helped it to rank in the top 2% of the 5069 funds listed on the Morningstar.co.uk website. ## Our outlook: 2013-2014 and beyond** ** At the beginning of this year, we said that we expect over the next two years to see the FTSE 100 make a return of approximately 30-35%. We also said that we expect to beat the FTSE 100 and we still stand behind that statement. So far we feel that we and the market are on track. As you heard before, we are currently sitting on a gain of 16.5% for the year. Beyond the next two years, we believe we’ll continue to experience solid performance from the equity markets, which means that if you are a long-term investor like us, and you stay in the game, the future is looking bright.
