In this section we'll review PIRRSNL select funds and funds that are owned by Your Personal Portfolio subscribers. The Fund DataBase, in spreadsheet form, compares   funds' performance to the average performance of the funds in their respective categories (i.e. Growth, Aggressive Growth, Growth & Income, etc.) for 1 year, 3 year, 5 year, and 10 year time periods.

PIRRSNL also recommends that its subscribers consider no-load or low load funds rather than load funds. There are so many funds out there, there is no reason an investor needs to pay a load in order to get great performance. However, some load funds are leaders in their investment category and are included in the PIRRSNL fund data base.

        For 2003 Select funds were up 34.7% and  performed better than the average US fund which was up 33.8%.
