What this month found

1The median fund had 30.8% of its money in companies the S&P 500 already holds, from 0.0% at the tenth fund to 75.7% at the ninetieth.
2111 of 187 beat the S&P 500 over the month and 76 did not.
3The median fee is 0.5%, which barely moves across that range.

A month rarely contains a holdings filing, so every book here is the newest one filed at or before the month ended. These run from May 29, 2026 to Jun 30, 2026, and a fund whose newest book is older than a quarter and a filing lag is counted out rather than published stale.

Where the month starts

Each return here runs from the first close inside the month to the last, so the move on the month’s first trading day is left out. An issuer’s monthly number starts at the prior month-end close, so the two can differ by that day’s move, which for a leveraged or single-stock fund can be several points.
