Yield To Me Fund

My high yield fund has performed decently, up 16.18 percent in the past month versus 12.75 percent for the S&P 500 Index. After trailing the market for two years from 2006 to 2008, the fund started to outperform in the fall of 2008, when I avoided some of the crash. Unlike most of my other funds, I've kept Yield close to fully invested, with cash currently around 6 percent.

The returns since inception are acceptable, considering many mutual fund managers failed to beat the S&P 500 Index. Since inception the fund is up an annualized 1.27 percent, dividends and fees included, compared to -1.30 percent for the index, a difference of 2.57 percent, annualized.

The fund currently yields 5.41 percent.
The S&P 500 Index currently yields about 3 percent.
