It has proven to be a very solid investment. I currently have about 9% of my portfolio in CGMRX, balancing it with about 6% EGLRX, so far proving to be an effective combination.

But Yahoo's historical data has those information. If you pull up the historical data, and look at the LAST column for the adjusted price (after dividends are counted), you can see that between now and Jan 02, CGMRX out-performed both TRREX and EGLRX. CGMRX returned 4.55X, while EGLRX returned 3.93X, and TRREX returned 3.19X. The last column does NOT give you the true return still because it only adjusted your cost basis downward by the amount of dividends, while in reality or practicality, you probably will re-invest your dividends back into the same fund, in which case your return is even better than the simple ratio.
