Financial managers use the "Lipper Quartile Ratings of Mutual Funds"
which lists the performance of each mutual fund against the
performance of other funds in the same category, such as small cap
value, large cap growth, etc. Is this available on the internet and,
if so, what is the web site? I am interested in this even if a
subscription fee is required.

well in Mozilla Firefox, but is OK in Internet Explorer.
