Of 44 categories of domestic and foreign funds tracked by Morningstar, 40 were higher in the first quarter. ¶ Investors undoubtedly will have differing views on whether a mid-single-digit gain on stocks for a three-month period was worth the risk. Still, it beat the 2% average return of bond mutual funds and the near-zero average yield on money market funds. ¶ But the ride wasn't a smooth one. In fact, stocks worldwide faced their biggest test since the new bull market began in March 2009.
