Notes funds for individual investors. What are the best players?

[Demjan Van Der Kach]

Hello everybody, I am strongly considering part of my SDIRA to be in Notes funds. I am looking for high quality players in the industry with great historical record. Let's talk about good and "not so good" funds! I would appreciate any leads/opinions. I am new to the Notes and my impression is - the notes funds are very difficult to understand in terms of historical risks, their transparency. there is no much of the SEC regulation/reporting requirements like, say, in mutual funds. Are there any financial analysis stats out there, rankings et cetera? Are these funds legit, here to stay??? Or is this Notes fund market is short- lived hype created by recent mortgage crisis and huge inventory?
