SPX Relationship/Effect in % to “Top Performing Funds”

I rebalanced all my portfolio in August 29th 2014 and at that time the market was still at positive momentum.  Later I found out that I lost somewhere around 6% across all my holdings in mid October.  6% is not much when the amount is small but when your portfolio is already big, 6% is not a good number.

I was curious of the actual effect of S&P 500 towards the top performing funds, the results are in Table 1.
