Its simple John. The idea is to show in your prospectus that the fund is over weigthted in winners and not losers, therby enticing more fund investors. This effect is very noticeable at the end of June, Oct and Dec. The latter two also are magnified by tax loss selling.

John: Funds do not like to show their clients they have "Out of the Money" Losers. Where possible,Funds try to eliminate those using

a: Swapping i.e both funds have Losers (different stocks)
b: Selling to a sister Fund to reduce Capital gains.

Funds are more short term oriented than imagined. That is why they publish daily values and quarterly reports.
