Forbes Advisor Names Nasdaq-100 Index® Fund to 2024 Best Mutual Funds List
Denver, March 13, 2024 – Shelton Capital Management, a multi-strategy asset manager, announced that its Nasdaq-100 Index Fund (Ticker: NASDX) was named to Forbes Advisor’s 10 Best Mutual Funds List for 2024.
“Our research demonstrates that investors want access to a Nasdaq-100 Index Fund in their 401(k) plans,” said Steve Rogers, CEO of Shelton Capital Management. “Although we are just beginning to survey plan participants, respondents tell us that including a Nasdaq-100 Index Fund in their 401(k) offering is very important to them, and plan advisors and consultants are responding to that demand. The Forbes award is just another validation that 401(k) investors have another excellent choice for their retirement plan.”
To identify the 10 best mutual funds, Forbes Advisor screened roughly 10,000 funds available for the top 33% of returns over a mix of three, five and 10 years and the bottom 10% of expense ratios. According to Forbes Advisor, “If you did not own a Nasdaq-100 Index Fund over the past decade, your portfolio missed out on having an MVP player in the game. Shelton’s Nasdaq-100 Index Fund was that sort of game changer. Launched in January 2000, in the wake of the dot-com bubble bursting, NASDX outscored 98% of its Morningstar category over the past decade.”*
“Another essential benefit of our Nasdaq-100 offering for investors is the opportunity for them to invest directly with Shelton Capital, avoiding the hassle of opening a brokerage account and paying additional fees associated with that burden,” said Dennis Clark, Managing Director, Shelton Capital Management. “We believe the Forbes Best Mutual Funds List recognition explains the overwhelming interest for a Nasdaq-100 Index Fund option in 401(k) plans and IRAs. Historically, the index performance has demonstrated that investing in innovation wins in the long run despite interim volatility. And we continue to see strong flows into the fund because of this.”
The Nasdaq-100 Index gives investors access to a wide variety of sectors and focuses on the largest 100 non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq exchange. For nearly four decades, the Nasdaq-100 Index has represented the world’s foremost large-cap growth index.
The Shelton Nasdaq-100 Index Fund received an Overall Morningstar Rating™ of 5 stars among 1,125 Large Growth funds, based on the risk-adjusted returns, as of 12/31/2023.** The Fund was also just named the best index fund for 2024 by Time.com and featured in Kiplinger’s Mutual Fund Guide for 2024 in the top ten list for Large Cap mutual funds. NASDX received the 2021 Refinitiv Lipper Fund Award for Best Fund for the 10-year period in the Large Cap Growth Fund category.
