The Ouality Progress Q-l00 outperformed the SP 500 for the fourth quarter of 2001 and for the year. The index of 100 stocks, created by Robinson Capital Management, gained 12.49 percent for the quarter (vs. 10.69 percent for the SP 500) while declining 0.63 percent for 2001 (compared to a drop of 0.89 percent for the SP 500). Since its inception on Sept.30, 1998, the Q-100 has a return of 26.97 percent compared to the SP 500's return of 17.59 percent over the same period. If you had invested 10,000 dollars in the Q-100 and 10,000 dollars in the SP 500 on Sept.30, 1998, your 0-100 investment would have been worth 12,697 dollars on the last day of 2001, compared to 11,759 dollars for the SP, according to Stephen George, author of In vest in the Best: How To Profit From Well-Managed Companies, published by John Wiley Sons in 2000.
