There are thousands of different mutual funds available to investors and their performance is reported to shareholders in quarterly and annual reports. The performance of most mutual funds can also be found on financial websites.
The most common ways to measure the performance of a mutual fund is to compare it to a broad market index such as the S&P 500 or to another index category that closely mirrors the investments held by the mutual fund. For example, if examining the returns of a gold mining mutual fund it would not make sense to compare investment returns to the S&P 500 since a gold mutual fund focuses on a narrow market sector related to gold mining shares and/or the price of gold. In this case an investor would be more interested in the relative performance of his gold mutual fund compared to other gold mutual funds or to an index such as the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) that measures returns of the entire gold mining industry.
