Today we are featuring top-performing "Global" equity mutual funds, which invest in equity securities of both U.S. and foreign companies.

Investors can find such funds by checking out the entire list of the Zacks #1 Rank Global Equity Funds.

2 Global Examples

Sierra Core Retirement A (SIRAX) seeks long-term total return. The fund also tries to protect capital by attempting to limit volatility and downside risk.

The fund invests primarily in a broadly diversified portfolio consisting of open-end and/or closed-end investment companies, including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, collectively called Underlying Funds.

Unit holders have to make a minimum initial investment of $10,000 to enter this Zacks#1 Rank ("Strong Buy") fund. The fund has outperformed the total returns of its benchmark index in the last 1-year period.

Palantir Fund (PALIX) was incepted in April 2007. The investment seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation, with added focus on absolute return and the protection of capital during unfavorable market conditions.

Employing a multi-disciplined analytic and management strategy, the fund typically owns 25 to 40 U.S. and foreign securities of any capitalization. It uses long-term investment strategies, short- and long-term tactical allocations, and hedging strategies.

Linn Energy LLC (LINE - Snapshot Report - Snapshot Report), Annaly Capital Management Inc. (NLY - Snapshot Report - Snapshot Report) and AerCap Holdings N.V. (AER - Snapshot Report - Snapshot Report) are among the fund's key holdings.
