The stock market may have been dismal in 2008, but the end of the year did bring one piece of positive news.
According to mutual fundtracker Morningstar, since its inception in 2001, the Hancock Horizon Burkenroad Fund ranks as the 38th best performer out of 4,823 mutual funds, placing it in the top 1 percent of all mutual funds. The Burkenroad Fund is up 58 percent over the last seven years; the stock market as a whole is down 10 percent over the same period. The Burkenroad Fund, which is run by Mississippi’s Hancock Bank, was inspired by Burkenroad Reports and invests in
many of the stocks followed by the program.
