(MONEY Magazine) – T. Rowe Price New Era took a 10% dive in the month ended Oct. 21. Not surprising, given that two-thirds of this natural-resources fund's holdings are in the energy sector, which fell 14% over the same period. FPA New Income was the only MONEY 50 fund up for the month. That's mainly because the fund has a large cash position, so it avoided the bond market's decline. Year-to-date return is only 1%. The fund hasn't had a losing year since 1977.

NOTES: As of Oct. 21. Ticker symbols represent largest share class. [1] Annualized. SOURCE: Lipper, New York; 877-955-4773.
