There was one conclusion to mutual fund investing in 2002: more red ink for most investors.

"It was a bad mixture of scandal, war fear, the economy and corporate profits," said Jack Cunningham, manager of $883 million Salomon Brothers Investors Value Fund.

Not everything was bad. Gold funds soared almost 62% on average through Dec. 26, says Lipper Inc. Real estate funds boasted yields of 7% and turned in the best nongold sector performance, up 3.4%.

Prudent Bear Fund, as is its style, bet against the market, selling short. It gave investors a 64% return.

As they typically do in bear markets, value funds beat growth funds. Small- and mid-cap funds beat large-cap funds.

The average large-cap growth fund fell more than 27.7%. Mid-cap growth funds lost 27.3%. Small-cap growth funds fell the hardest, dropping 29%.
