The Four Original StockJungle Funds

The original StockJungle launched a small family of funds in the early 2000s. Each fund was built around a different idea about where investor advantage came from. Together they were a working argument that ordinary investors deserved both choice and disclosure.

Why a family, not a single fund

One fund cannot be all things. A fund built for indexing has to behave like the index. A fund built for thematic concentration has to accept the volatility that comes with concentration. By offering a small family, StockJungle let an investor express a clear preference without leaving the disclosure principle that ran across all of the funds.

The four funds

FundIdea
Community Intelligence Fund Crowdsourced ideas, manager screened, transparent holdings.
Pure Play Internet Fund Concentrated bet on internet-native businesses of the era.
Market Leaders Growth Fund Large-cap growth franchises, held for compounding.
S&P 500 Index Fund Low-cost broad market exposure inside the family.

What they shared

All four funds disclosed holdings on the public site at a cadence well above the regulatory minimum. All four explained their process in plain prose. All four were managed against a published benchmark. Together they made up what the site called the naked fund family.

What they did not share

They did not share a single style. The Community Intelligence Fund leaned on collective input. Pure Play Internet was concentrated. Market Leaders Growth was a long horizon equity portfolio. The index fund existed to give investors the cheap, plain alternative against which the other three had to justify themselves. The point of the lineup was that the investor could see the difference and pick on purpose.

Why this hub still exists

The funds were wound down years ago. The pages survive because the ideas behind them survived. The current StockJungle still publishes holdings, still writes plainly, and still benchmarks every model portfolio against a real index. The funds are gone. The disclosure is not.
