Fundsters interested in what drives the deaths of mutual funds may want to take a look at Chuck Jaffe's column yesterday. The MarketWatch columnist highlights a handful of the 1,400 mutual funds that liquidated in 2010 and ponders why they died. Those funds included:

Frontier Micro-Cap (which would have turned your $1,000 starting investment into $11 by the time it bit the dust);

OOK ETF;

Presidio (which was saying goodbye to its star manager, Kevin O'Boyle;

and StockCar Stocks Index Fund (effectively a large-cap index fund with 360 basis points of expenses).
