A Hedge-Like Fund For The Rest Of Us

Amanda Cantrell from CNN Money evaluates the performance of mutual funds that act like hedge funds. Is their performance worth the expense?

Here are the details of the four funds the author evaluated:

Fund	Exp Ratio	Sales Chg	YTD Rtn
The Gateway Fund [GATEX]	0.97%		4.52%
Diamond Hill Focus Long/Short [DIAMX]	1.75%	5.00%	12.12%
Hussman Strategic Growth [HSGFX]	1.15%		4.95%
Pimco Commodity RealReturn Strategy [PCRAX]	1.24%	5.50%	15.27%

If you bought these funds at the beginning of the year, would it have been worth the fees?
