Equity funds that invest in China and Latin America boast some of the biggest gains this year, according to fund-tracker Lipper Inc, a Thomson Reuters company, as well as some high-yield bond funds. Big losers include financial services sector funds and bond funds that invest in U.S. treasuries.

A top equity performer, Dreyfus Emerging Asia Fund DEACX.O, was up 84.3 percent through the end of June, swinging from a decline of 61.4 percent in 2008.
