| Investor Returns |
| Fairholme FAIRX |
 |
| What are Investor Returns? | | Morningstar investor returns (also known as dollar-weighted returns) measure how the typical investor in a fund fared over various time periods, incorporating the impact of cash inflows and outflows from all investors' purchases and sales. If investors bought a fund after it had posted big gains and sold at a low ebb, investor returns will be lower than the fund's total returns. If investors bought and sold at more opportune times, however, investor returns will be higher than the fund's total returns. (For more details, please click here.) | |
