| Manager Insight Archives
Each issue of Manager Insight is maintained in our climate controlled archive room. Past Issues: IMS Capital Value Fund: This fund offers a bit of a twist by blending two investment styles normally thought of as mutually exclusive. But the performance of this 5-Star fund is hard to argue with. Alpine US Real Estate Equity Fund: This fund has earned a 5-Star rating by maintaining a diverse portfolio of real estate holdings and by keeping one step ahead of the business cycle. Live Oak Health Sciences Fund: Demographics, innovation and technological advances are big themes for this up and coming health care fund. Lori Pizzani interviews co-manager Brandi K. Allen. Bridgeway Blue-Chip 35: A quantative investment approach coupled with a philanthropic mission. Oh, and amazing investment results for this 4-Star Fund. Note: This interview has generated more response than any in recent memory. The Amana Growth Fund: A 5-Star Fund with a twist--This fund not only performs well but it does so while adhering to the Islamic Code of Law. Kirr Marbach Partners Value Fund: Buying out of favor stocks...and straw hats...at bargain prices makes this fund a winner. The ABN Amro Real Estate Fund: FundEmail visits the land of real estate in this interview with real estate fund manager Nancy Holland who explains why real estate belongs in every investors portfolio. The Mosaic Fund: FundEmail finds yet another 5-star fund that isn't (yet) a household name. Manager Haruki Toyama discusses his methodology and the growth at a reasonable price investment style. Icon Healthcare Fund: Cheryl Peress takes the temperature of the Icon Healthcare Fund in an interview with co-portfolio manager J. C. Waller. The Tweedy Browne Global Value Fund is managed in the style of Warren Buffet and Benjamin Graham. Managing Director Robert Wycoff, Jr. explains the process behind this award winning fund. The Prudent Global Income Fund manager David Tice isn't bullish despite the recent rally. In fact, he's bearish. He explains why and how he manages this unusual fund. The Pinnacle Value Fund is a new value fund run by a veteran manager who looks for appetizing but "orphaned" securities hiding in the often overlooked sweet spot of the micro- and small cap markets. The Yacktman Fund has its own style--a style that generates superior returns. Donald Yacktman explains his approach. The American Century International Bond Fund: Why unhedged may be the way to go. This international bond fund manages the bond (interest rate risk) separately from the currency risk. The Pax World Balanced Fund: Exceptional returns AND socially responsible investing? The Pax World Balanced Fund delivers. Christopher H. Brown explains how. Winslow Green Growth Fund: Being Green and making your Green Grow don't have to be mutually exclusive. Portfolio manager Jackson Robinson explains the success behind this fund. The Jensen Portfolio: The Jensen Portfolio (JENSX) is the antithesis of a trendy, catch-the-latest-wave equity fund. Instead of spreading assets across hundreds of stocks, the managers look for about two dozen, solid large company stocks to love. Buffalo Small Cap Fund: Steady gains and controlled volatility have made this fund a "Superstar." The American Century Tax Managed Capital Value Fund: Here's a fund that combines some savvy discounted stock buying with some careful tax minimizing strategies. The result? A fund that seeks out of favor giants, then watches the bottom line gains to be sure it's a sum zero game and Uncle Sam isn't invited. Equally as appealing, this fund outperformed the majority of its peer funds last year. The Kinetics Internet Fund: The tale of two funds...despite the bursting of the Internet bubble, this fund is still one of the top performers--of all funds--over the last 5 years. Further, co-manager Peter Doyle is both bullish and bearish on the tech sector. Doyle explains it all in this issue of Manager Insight. The Hussman Strategic Growth Fund: This fund's manager doesn't just pick stocks. This fund feasts off a proprietary recipe which includes blending hefty assessments of stock price valuations, with doses of top down analyses of market conditions. This relatively young fund's success has propelled it into the top ranks among its peers. Auxier Focus Fund: Manager Jeff Auxier explains his investment technique and the connection between hazelnut farming and investment management. The Henssler Equity Fund: A four and one-half year old sensitive fund (tax sensitive, that is) that picks large, stable industry leaders, and won't let go no matter which way the einvestment styles blow. Runkel Value Fund: A new and undiscovered fund from an experienced manager with a concentrated, bottom up approach. Meridian Value Fund: It's not quite alchemy, but this 5-star fund has a habit of investing in the downtrodden and profiting from recovery. Howard Capital Appreciation Fund: Growth or value? Anthony G. Orphanos thinks they're part of the same equation. Polaris Global Value Fund: Manager Bernard J. Horn, Jr. explains the investment process that has made his global fund a leading performer. Hennessy Cornerstone Growth Fund: Neil J. Hennessy takes an unemotional, disciplined approach to investing...with good results. Marketocracy Technology Plus Fund: Tech investing used to be simple...now it requires a rocket scientist...like Dr. Paul McEntire, manager of this flexible fund. Matthews China Fund: Yes, it's big and enigmatic, but Richard Gao knows China and understands the opportunities and risks in the land of the dragon. The Arbitrage Fund: Learn abour risk arbitrage and how this fund lets individual investors in on the opportunities normally reserved for sophisticated institutional investors from fund manager John Orrico. The Greenspring Fund: Manager Charles "Chip" K. Carlson explains "busted convertibles." |
