U.S. News Media Group Releases Best Mutual Funds for 2010

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. News Media Group today unveiled Best Mutual Funds for 2010 on its new online mutual fund portal at http://money.usnews.com/funds.  Designed for long-term investors seeking broad access to information about funds, the U.S. News scoring system highlights funds with superior ratings no matter the market climate.

The U.S. News mutual fund portal, a one-stop site for following top funds, makes analyzing these investments a simpler and more informed experience. USNews.com visitors can browse easy-to-understand reviews, information, and assigned scores for over 4,500 distinct mutual funds. The U.S. News Mutual Fund Score, which integrates ratings from Morningstar, Lipper, Zacks, TheStreet.com, and Standard & Poor's, factors in qualities such as short- and long-term performance, risk, expenses, and future prospects. By compiling expert ratings and opinions, the U.S. News Mutual Fund Score offers a broad look at what some of the brightest minds conducting investing analysis have to say about these important investments.

In addition to profiling more than 100 of the largest mutual funds in terms of assets, U.S. News analyzed top-ranked funds in each of the following 11 categories: large growth, large value, large blend, foreign large blend, diversified emerging markets, health, short-term bond, intermediate-term bond, intermediate government bond, world bond, and moderate allocation. These category-topping funds all share important traits, including high-conviction portfolios, low costs, talented and consistent management, and downside protection.

"The volatile markets of the past decade have made investing in mutual funds increasingly more complicated," said U.S. News Editor Brian Kelly. "We hope the information on our Best Mutual Funds portal will make understanding these investments a little easier."
