When you have a ordsprog

When you have a manager change, you always want to keep a close eye on the fund going forward to make sure the fund is behaving in a way you're comfortable with.

There is big tension when a fund company decides to close a fund, because growing assets is how they make their money. Meanwhile, investors will push for an early close because by the time a fund closes it's usually already too late.

The reason that Blaine Rollins, the fund manager, did decide to close the fund is so he could continue to be selective in his stock picking.

Somehow people look at the performance of the average mutual fund manager and say, 'It's underperforming the superstar of the market, which is the S&P index in the past few years, therefore I can do as well,' ... That's a fallacy. You may be able to do very well, but the fact that the average fund manager is doing worse than average does not mean he's stupid, and his stupidity doesn't make you smart.

You're talking to a small- to medium-cap value manager, and that manager is becoming a dinosaur. What we do in our Capital Fund or the New Income Fund is a function of our discipline.

Like baseball managers, there's almost too much credit given to a fund manager when (a fund) does well, and too little when it does poorly. It's very healthy to look beyond a star manager.

If it's a guru-driven fund, with a great stock picker - like if David Alger stopped running the Alger Fund -- we would expect the unknown. Whenever there is a manager change, most of the time you don't know what the hell you're going to get.

Funds with the potential to make money in both rising and falling markets are likely to attract the same target audience that with-profit funds used to. But investors must always make sure that they are comfortable with everything their fund invests in and also that, as far as possible, they understand what the fund actually does. That way there are less likely to be any disappointments.

Overall, this fund gets my recommendation, with the caveat that it is more conservative than its peers. Since small caps have had a multiyear run, you may want to temper your exposure to this fund and make it a supporting player rather than a core fund in your portfolio.

It would be useless to go through all that soul searching to choose the fund that suits you only to find that the investment manager can do all that she likes with the fund.

Generally speaking, any fund is going to get its best performance in its early years. There's less money, the fund is more nimble, the manager is more hungry.

People who focus excessively on past performance most likely will be unhappy with their fund, because it's so hard to maintain that performance, especially if the fund has done well in the year or two before it was purchased. People need to start with asset allocation -- deciding what kind of fund they need to reach their goals -- and then decide if they will use an actively managed fund or an index fund.

The manager could have made a large sector bet that flopped; he may have made a large commitment to the fund's top 10 holdings, which then underperformed; or the fund may simply have an unskilled manager, someone who can't pick well.

So you put a little Jamaica in the fund, a little South Africa, a little Thailand. In a global crisis, all three will be a dog. But if you're a [hedge fund] manager, you don't care. You just want to offer as much diversification as possible, with as much yield as possible.
