Hi Al. <small cap funds>. Last summer I compared various small cap funds against the Russell 2000 during up and down periods. The funds outperformed the Russell during the last 2 small cap up legs. This time around, SCHVX,JAENX,FUSMX,RSMGX,BESCX & RSEGX are doing the best. 04/97 10/97 1/98 4/98 10/97 01/98 4/98 8/98 UP DOWN UP DOWN Vangrd NAESX 35 % (16)% 17 % (16)% (Russell 2K index) Small Cap Growth Funds Barron BARAX 25 % (7)% 17 % (11)% Barron BGINX 34 % (16)% 15 % (15)% Berger BENGX 56 % (21)% 25 % (10)% Berger BESCX 42 % (31)% 28 % (15)% Dryfus DGVAX 30 % (36)% 12 % (40)% Freemnt FUSMX 34 % (17)% 17 % (16)% Kaufman KAUFX 29 % (16)% 16 % (11)% Managrs MGSEX 34 % (14)% 19 % (12)% Monetta MONTX 39 % (29)% 18 % (21)% RobStep RSEGX 44 % (43)% 30 % (10)% RobStep RSMGX 52 % (18)% 25 % (21)% Scudder SCDVX 36 % (26)% 21 % (11)% Strong SCAPX 38 % (22)% 27 % (20)% Warburn CUEGX 36 % (20)% 22 % (11)% Small cap Value Funds Heartld HRSMX 28 % (31)% 7 % (21)% Heartld HRTVX 30 % (36)% 15 % (15)% RobStep RSPFX 25 % (19)% 17 % (26)% Royce RYOTX 29 % (15)% 15 % (12)% Royce RYPRX 20 % (17)% 15 % (7)% Royce RYTRX 20 % (6)% 9 % (5)% Small Cap Blend Funds Crabben CHSCX 31 % (30)% 19 % (29)% Dryfus DNLDX 31 % (19)% 19 % (12)% Gabelli GABSX 32 % (23)% 15 % (8)% SSgA SVSCX 37 % (15)% 19 % (16)%
