*Out of 57 fund families. To qualify for Barron's fund-family ranking, firms must offer a wide range of funds with a minimum track record of one year. This includes at least three mutual funds or ETFs in Lipper's general U.S. equity category, one in world equity, and one in mixed-asset, as well as two taxable bond funds and one tax-exempt bond fund. Rankings are based on a firm's funds within those respective categories. Each fund's performance is measured against all of the other funds in its Lipper category, with a percentile ranking of 100 being the highest and one the lowest. This result is then weighted by asset size, relative to the fund family's other assets in its general classification. The category weightings for the one-year results in 2018 were general equity, 34.8%; mixed asset, 21.3%; world equity, 17.1%; taxable bond, 22.4%; tax-exempt bond, 4.4%.
