2 Investor's Business Daily's Best Mutual Funds 2021 Awards recognized funds that outperformed their benchmark index as of December 31, 2020. IBD considered all the funds in the Morningstar universe that had a track record of at least 10 years and identified those that beat their benchmark for the latest one-year, three-year, five-year and 10-year periods. IBD compared the performance of 3,525 funds that have been around for at least 10 years and found that 877 beat their benchmark index in those four periods. Funds in 12 categories qualified.

The fund with the highest Lipper Leader for Consistent Return (Effective Return) value in each eligible classification wins the Refinitiv Lipper Fund Award.
