The same thing goes for the markets. If you’re still buying, then the world is your oyster. If you’ve done all the buying you had planned and are instead in the mode of selling investments to cover living expenses, you’re naturally feeling very differently. Those with more money to put to work because they have a regular paycheck or held a lot of cash on the sidelines have the opportunity to make their losses back faster by buying more at depressed prices. Either way, the downturn does provide the opportunity for stronger returns over the next decade or longer. I’ve got a bunch of ideas for good long-term investments, but, first, here are a couple of investment themes to think about as you assess your portfolio. Time to Book a Tax Loss You can sell any funds that you are holding at values lower than those at which you acquired them and realize a loss. Then you can move the money to a better fund—in effect, you’d be getting paid to upgrade. If you’re not sure if you hold a fund at a loss, check with your fund company or accountant. Also, be sure to check whether there are any redemption fees. Watch Out for Rising Fund Expense Ratios Sadly, big losses generally mean higher fees in mutual funds even though that sounds rather perverse. Most mutual funds have breakpoints in their management fees, which bring expenses down as assets grow but lead to hikes when assets shrink. Other fees are often based on firmwide assets and might tick up as well. You should be particularly watchful of foreign funds, as many tripped breakpoints for lower costs as they grew in 2007 and may well hit them going the other way now. There are two ways to avoid getting stuck with a pricey fund. First, buy one of the cheapest funds around. Index funds are particularly well protected because their management fees are extremely small. Even if expenses rise a bit, you’ll still have a cheap fund. You can also look back at a fund’s history to see what expenses looked like the last time its assets were around current levels. Watch Out for Falling Dollars The dollar enjoyed a nice pop in 2008, but I’m a little wary with interest rates near zero. A number of my picks for 2009 offer foreign-currency diversification. What to Buy for 2009 Newly Reopened Funds The time to get into great funds is when they are out of favor. That goes double for funds that close pretty quickly. Now, nearly every previously closed fund has reopened. Only a handful of our picks is closed to new investors. This opportunity won’t be around after the next market rally. I never thought Sequoia Fund SEQUX would reopen, but with an aging shareholder base and a down market, it is willing to take new cash. Founders Bill Ruane and Richard Cunniff are no longer at the helm, but the next generation is outstanding and experienced. Robert Goldfarb has been with the firm for Continued on Page 2 Russel Kinnel, Director of Fund Research and Editor Fund Analyst Picks 5 Harbor Commodity Real Return Third Avenue Real Estate Value Morningstar Research 8 Our Manager of the Year Winners The Contrarian These Funds Disappointed 10 Red Flags 11 Treasury Funds Offering Measly Yields Market Overview 12 Leaders and Laggards 13 Manager Changes and News 14 FundInvestor Focused 10 16 Tracking Fund Analyst Picks 18 Income Strategist 20 FundInvestor 500 22 FundInvestor 500 Spotlight 23 Ask Russ 48 R1_0109.qxp 2 1/6/09 4:14 PM Page 2 Where to Invest in 2009 and Beyond Continued From Cover 30 years, and he’s supported by comanager David Poppe and about a dozen analysts. The fund invests very much in the Warren Buffett mold, looking for well-run companies trading at reasonable prices. Causeway International Value CIVVX is another gem. Run by experienced managers who formerly worked at Hotchkis & Wiley, it is one of the best foreign-value mutual funds around, and it has the record to prove it. Allianz NFJ Small Cap Value PSVIX is another winner. I love the small-cap dividend focus, and that focus helped it limit losses in last year’s brutal markets. The institutional shares are the best deal, but D shares are the easy way in through a fund supermarket. Third Avenue Small-Cap Value TASCX had a disappointing year, but I still believe in it. Historically, Third Avenue funds have done an outstanding job of limiting losses in down markets by focusing on supercheap stocks that couldn’t fall much further. But in 2008, the fund lost 35%, which is only slightly better than the category average. Even so, the fund’s 10-year returns are in the top quintile of its peer group, and I have faith in Curtis Jensen. I’ve written quite a bit about these three: Longleaf Partners LLPFX, Dodge & Cox Stock DODGX, and Dodge & Cox Balanced DODBX. These are great funds with strong long-term prospects. Great Core Funds To me, upgrading in a down market means getting better managers, lower costs, and better stocks. With blue chips and big broad market indexes looking cheap, here are some appealing ideas. Masters’ Select International MSILX is a great place to gain broad foreign-equity exposure. It delegates assets to six excellent managers: Oakmark International’s OAKIX David Herro, Ted Tyson of Mastholm Asset Management, Bill Fries of Thornburg International Value TGVAX, Jim Gendelman of Harbor International Growth HIIGX, Amit Wadhwaney of Third Avenue International Value TAVIX, and the four-person team at Northern Cross that helps run Harbor International HAINX. Over the trailing 10 years, the fund has beaten 95% of foreign largeblend funds. Artio International Equity II JETAX is another keeper. Formerly named Julius Baer, the fund is run by Richard Pell and Rudolph-Riad Younes. They blend top-down and bottom-up selection and have a remarkable knack for succeeding in all market environments. Vanguard Primecap Core VPCCX is an outstanding fund that hasn’t yet attracted much attention. Primecap runs a brilliant contrarian growth strategy that’s going on 20 years of strong performance. Fairholme FAIRX is more concentrated than the three funds that I mentioned, so you have to be ready for years when it is well behind or ahead of the S&P 500. You also have to be tolerant of crowds because Bruce Berkowitz’s brilliant stock selection has made this one popular fund of late. Despite that and some changes in the comanager ranks at this fund, it’s a keeper. Get Global With the difference between U.S., European, and Japanese giants fading, it makes sense to invest in a world-stock fund where managers can pick the best investments in an industry regardless of location. Manning & Napier World Opportunities EXWAX uses an all-cap, analyst-driven approach that incorporates growth, value, and cyclical plays. The shop is risk-averse, and its funds have done comparatively well in down markets. This one lost much less than the benchmark and its typical rival in the last bear market from 2000–02, and its long-term record is outstanding. Dodge & Cox Global Stock DODWX took a big pratfall when it made its entrance, but I still think that its long-term prospects are bright. Look at the long-term record at Dodge & Cox and you’ll see it has done an outstanding job for investors over the long haul. There’s no secret mix for this fund. It just glued together the portfolios from Dodge & Cox Stock and Dodge & Cox International Stock DODFX to come up with this fund, which has $400 million in assets and charges 0.87%. So, if you own one of those, you don’t need this new fund, but with world economies R1_0109.qxp 1/6/09 4:14 PM Page 3 Morningstar FundInvestor linking up, world-stock funds like this one make a lot of sense. Dodge’s experience and time-proven strategy make this a compelling option. Artisan Global Value ARTGX is new and run by David Samra and Daniel O’Keefe. They worked previously at Oakmark’s international funds with David Herro, our 2006 International-Stock Manager of the Year. Like Herro, Samra and O’Keefe are contrarians who buy firms trading at big discounts to their estimates of intrinsic value. They pile into battered and emerging markets and pay no heed to benchmark weightings. Marsico Global MGLBX Like the Dodge fund, this is a pretty new fund but boasts experienced management. Manager Cory Gilchrist runs the show on this fund, but he’s assisted by veteran hands James Gendelman and Tom Marsico. Gilchrist and the others fill the fund with 40 to 70 stocks, each of which displays a macroeconomic tail wind, industry tail wind, company-specific opportunity, and a reasonable valuation. This leads to a portfolio with above-average growth characteristics and also with above-average prices. Running a concentrated growth fund is risky, but Marsico has mastered it over 20 years. He’s shown that he knows how to diversify among sectors and has avoided big blowups at the top of the portfolio. Bond Funds That Invest in Anything but Treasuries Treasuries have rallied to the point where their expected returns are quite minimal. Naturally, investors are drawn to their safety, but that makes a slew of other fund portfolios cheap for the patient investor. Here are some favorite plays: Loomis Sayles Bond LSBRX is run by Dan Fuss and Kathleen Gaffney in an opportunistic style: They’ll go after whatever looks cheap, and their track record is remarkable, with the huge exception of 2008 when they got smacked silly. I have faith Fuss will bring this back, but it’s clearly designed for a long-term time horizon like that of stock funds. With a 12% yield on the portfolio, you could well get equitylike returns. Fidelity Tax-Free Bond FTABX (or its state-specific equivalents) is a much more tame play. Munis January 2009 3 have gotten so cheap that they now boast much better yields than Treasuries even before factoring in their tax advantage. In 2008, Fidelity’s muni lineup held up better than that of any fund company, including T. Rowe and Vanguard. Vanguard Convertible Securities VCVSX is a compelling investment. Converts have gotten cheap because hedge funds are being forced to liquidate and because investors are understandably worried about the recession. Hence, the opportunity to get in at low prices and decent yields. Manager Larry Keele has beaten 90% of his peers over the past 10 years without taking as much credit risk as they do. Assets Where the Bubble Has Burst I suppose everything qualifies as being post-bubble, but I’m thinking in particular about asset classes that had been ridiculously overpriced but now look respectable. They may not be screaming buys but could serve as modest diversifiers in your portfolio now that they’ve had the heck beaten out of them. Real estate and commodities have come crashing, so consider Third Avenue Real Estate Value TAREX and Harbor Commodity Real Return HACMX (Page 5). Third Avenue is run by maverick Michael Winer, who ventures well beyond REITs in search of attractive investments. For a more straightforward real estate play, consider T. Rowe Price Real Estate TRREX, run by David Lee, who boasts a strong 10-year record. Finally, for the hard-core bottom-fisher, consider Asia funds. Matthews Pacific Tiger MAPTX is an aggressive but well-run equity fund with a strong 10-year record. On the slightly tamer side is Matthews Asia Pacific Equity Income MAPIX, where the income component moderates returns a bit. The last two years’ returns tell you a lot about the two funds’ risk/reward profiles: Equity Income gained 18.1% in 2007 and lost 26% in 2008 while Tiger gained 33.7% and then turned around and lost 46%. How’d I Do in Past Years? Although it’s still early to judge, I’ve included a score card on my favorites for 2007 and 2008.

Another great blue-chip growth fund. Brayman has done a brilliant job. A little corporate-bond exposure could work well. Disappointing recently but a keeper long term. Similar to Jensen only it has an energy stake. Fidelity’s muni funds have held up nicely while others got burned. Hope to see what it can do when growth runs. Great fund, but I’m lukewarm on TIPS. Now’s a good time to build your core. A fine time for blue chips. Charlie Dreifus has been a champ. Ugh! This fund was a magnet for subprime stocks. Financials hurt, but fund should make a comeback. A growth bias has hurt, but it’s time for this fund to deliver. Health care holds up nicely in recessions. A cheap play on health. This fund outperformed though munis lagged taxable bonds.

A brutal year, but the long-term record remains strong. See above. A horrible year but a great fund. The fund was a champ in this bear market and the last. See above. Wadhwaney is going on a buying spree. Our stock analysts were wrong about the recovery in financials. Probably the best sector fund around. They held up well in the downturn, and they’ll do well in a rally. Buy it and hold it for 10 or 20 years.

The Morningstar FundInvestor 500 includes 160 Analyst Picks, which are the favorite funds of the Morningstar analysts who specialize in each particular category. Analysts make their selections based on a fund’s historical risk and return, costs, and knowledge of the managers and their strategies. ◊ One of our favorite ways to gain commodity exposure is now available at a lower cost. Management Although PIMCO’s Mihir Worah was named manager of Harbor Commodity Real Return Strategy’s HACMX underlying strategies only recently, he is an experienced hand. The fund was launched in September 2008, but it was modeled after PIMCO Commodity Real Return Strategy PCRDX, which Worah has had a hand in running since 2003 and of which he became the sole manager in December 2007. The fixed-income portfolio behind PIMCO Real Return PRRDX and Analyst Pick Harbor Real Return HARRX also plays a role in this fund, and Worah has run that portfolio since December 2007 as well. Strategy This fund offers a different breed of commodities exposure than most. Most natural-resources funds invest in the stocks of companies that process commodities, but this fund offers direct exposure to the commodity prices themselves. Worah models the fund’s exposure after that of the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index—an index that consists of crude oil, wheat, coffee, gold, and 15 other commodities. The index caps each commodity’s weighting to prevent any one commodity from dominating performance. Worah invests in two types of derivatives to build the fund’s commodity exposure: structured notes and swaps. In 2005, the IRS ruled out commodity funds’ use of swaps, but PIMCO worked with the government agency for permission to invest in them indirectly through an offshore entity. Structured notes and swaps essentially provide the same exposure but with different risk/reward profiles, and lately Worah has been finding better opportunities among swaps because of the heightened risks associated with issuers of structured notes (chiefly the hard-hit investment banks). Worah makes small bets among the index’s January 2009 5 subsectors (such as heating oil versus crude) and uses an income overlay in an effort to beat the commodity index. Because these investments require only a small outlay of assets, Worah is able to invest the balance in a fixed-income portfolio of Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities that is run in the same style as the successful PIMCO Real Return. This active management that Worah provides should help the fund provide greater long-term returns than an exchange-traded note that tracks the same index. Costs Expenses are what earned this fund the Analyst Pick nod over its PIMCO counterpart. Its 0.94% annual fee trumps the PIMCO fund’s 1.24% levy, and it also makes this fund more competitive versus low-cost exchange-traded note alternatives. Performance This fund’s short track record is not indicative of its long-term prospects, though it vividly illustrates the risks. Commodity prices have been tanking since its September 2008 inception, and no amount of incremental active management can overcome the index’s 36% loss over the trailing three months through Dec. 12, 2008. The longer record of the PIMCO fund offers insight into this fund’s prospects, and that record had been strong until the combination of falling commodity prices and the lagging performance of TIPS in recent months caused that fund to suffer more than its benchmark. Still, Worah’s skill and this fund’s low expense ratio should give it a leg up on its bogy over the long run. Stewardship Although this fund hasn’t been formally assessed using our Stewardship Grade methodology, we’re encouraged that its PIMCO counterpart earned an overall grade of B. We would, however, like to see Worah align his interests with his shareholders’ by investing in this fund. Conclusion We like this strategy as a long-term diversification tool even more with its new lower price tag. œ Contact Hilary Fazzone at [email protected] FAP2_0109.qxp 1/6/09 2:54 PM Page 6 6 Third Avenue Real Estate Value Fund Analyst Pick | John Coumarianos What is an Analyst Pick? The Morningstar FundInvestor 500 includes 160 Analyst Picks, which are the favorite funds of the Morningstar analysts who specialize in each particular category. Analysts make their selections based on a fund’s historical risk and return, costs, and knowledge of the managers and their strategies. ◊ Management Michael Winer, who is a seasoned real estate investor, has run Third Avenue Real Estate Value TAREX since its September 1999 inception. Winer has experience in real estate development and investing in distressed situations, including in the debt of real estate companies. He’s supported by Jason Wolf and another analyst, who joined the fund in 2004 and 2006, respectively. Strategy Winer employs the “safe and cheap” approach to investing that Third Avenue’s founder Marty Whitman applies to all investing. In their view, a firm’s balance sheet is at least as important as its income statement. Winer doesn’t mind paying for assets whose values can be realized in the future. This draws him to companies that have vast land banks. He also likes real estate companies that have shown an ability to develop property, because he thinks development is where the money is in real estate over the longer haul. This draws him not only to land banks but also to real estate operating companies that tend to be able to finance their development projects out of their own cash flow. Winer owns some real estate investment trusts, but their legal requirements to pay out their profits as dividends can hinder their ability to develop property. Winer’s interest in developers has led him to Asian developers Henderson Land Development and Hang Lung Properties and also in Brookfield Asset Management BAM, which has real estate and other interests in Latin America e. Winer will also invest in distressed debt—that’s something of a Third Avenue specialty. Recently, the fund purchased a loan secured by land in Southern California, whose development has been put on hold. Costs The fund’s expense ratio has declined from a whopping 1.85% to 1.10%, which is good enough to land it in the least expensive half of the category r. Performance Despite difficulties this year with Forest City and ProLogis PLD and dismal absolute performance, the fund has held some firms that have done comparatively well. For example, St. Joe Corporation JOE, which owns thousands of acres of land on the Florida panhandle, and Vornado VNO, which is led by shrewd capital allocators Steve Roth and Michael Fascitelli, have lost less than the broad indexes and allowed the fund to outperform most of its peers in the new global real estate category and the MSCI World Real Estate Index by 2 percentage points this year. More importantly, over the longer haul, the fund has beaten its peers and index consistently t. Winer has not only picked the firms that are the most talented at development, but he also has the patience to stick with them, as the fund’s paltry turnover throughout the years indicates. Winer has never turned the portfolio over more than 23% in one calendar year, and the 10-year average annual turnover for the fund is a mere 13% u. We think this kind of patience is a hallmark of good investors. Stewardship Michael Winer has more than $1 million of his personal assets in the fund. Also, Third Avenue’s quarterly shareholder letters, including Winer’s, are among the finest in the industry when it comes to managers explaining how they’re executing their strategies and why they’re buying and selling certain securities. Conclusion Despite losses in 2008, Winer’s ability to find the good developers and stay with them over the long haul has been successful over time. Potential upcoming opportunities in distressed debt are icing on the cake. œ Contact John Coumarianos at [email protected] MFB2_0109.qxp 1/6/09 2:53 PM Page 7 Morningstar FundInvestor Third Avenue RealEst Val Governance and Management Ticker TAREX Analyst Pick Load None NAV $16.21 Yield 3.1% January 2009 Total Assets $1,258 mil Mstar Category Global Real Estate Investment Style Equity Stock % Historical Profile Return Average Risk Low Rating Neutral Stewardship Grade: Portfolio Manager(s) 84% 89% 85% 96% 73% 89% 95% 93% 7 98% Manager Change Partial Manager Change 46.4 33.8 Lead manager Mike Winer has run this fund since its 1998 inception.

Besides a long history of investing overseas, this fund also knows its way around bankruptcies, which should be useful in the current environment. The fund owns LandSource Senior Term Loan, which it acquired at 70% of face value and which has an outstanding balance of $1 billion. The loan is secured by land in Southern California recently appraised at $1.7 billion. LandSource’s land is entitled, so it will be easier to develop when markets return to normal. We think the fund should make a handsome profit on its investment. Since this fund pursues bankruptcies and often favors non-REITs that are skilled at development projects that they can finance with their cash flow, the offering won’t sport the high yield that its REIT-focused competitors do. Still, investors more concerned with total return than with current yield should be quite happy here.

Like nearly everything besides Treasury bonds, real estate has taken it on the chin in 2008—especially foreign real estate. Manager Michael Winer and his team have invested overseas long before it became fashionable to do so, and we think they have an advantage there now that prices are cheap. They own positions in Mitubishi Estate, Henderson Land, and British Land, which are suffering to varying degrees because short-term-oriented investors are fleeing emerging markets, and turmoil in the financial-services industry is clouding London’s prospects. Undeterred, Winer and his team have been adding to British Land and Henderson. He thinks London should continue to remain a global financial center, and Henderson has the largest land bank of any Hong Kong property developer, so it can self-finance developments with $350 million of recurring cash flow.

Outside of a handful of bond funds, just about everyone lost money. And not just a little but staggering amounts. The average fund lost more than 30% in 2008. So, why give out awards when everyone’s year-end statement is swimming in red ink? Because limiting losses was difficult to do, yet incredibly valuable. Consider that our winning Domestic-Stock Manager of the Year lost just under 20% when the stock market as a whole lost 37%. Limiting losses makes it much easier for an investor to get back in the black. To make up for a 20% loss, an investor would need to gain 25%. And to make up for a 40% loss, an investor would need to gain 67%. That’s tough to do. Vanguard 500 Index VFINX has produced three-year gains of 25% or greater in two thirds of the rolling three-year periods since 1978, but it has produced gains of 66% or more in only about a third of those rolling periods. Moreover, our Manager of the Year award recognizes much more than a single year’s performance. It recognizes long-term performance and strong stewardship as well. Domestic-Stock Manager of the Year Charlie Dreifus of Royce Special Equity RYSEX A couple of years ago, we recommended Royce Special Equity after it was an Analyst Pick, and a few readers wrote to ask if we were serious/crazy/stupid. Maybe crazy and stupid, too, but we were definitely serious. Charlie Dreifus is the sort of investor we’re confident in when the market turns south. He’ll buy only stocks that trade at a steep discount to his intrinsic value estimates. That means he’ll miss out on some fast-growing companies, but his approach protects against losses in tough times. He also demands high returns on invested capital and is a stickler for clean accounting and strong balance sheets. In fact, accounting guru Abe Briloff of Baruch College was a mentor. Thus, when accounting scandals hit and people lose faith in companies’ risk controls, Royce Special Equity is a good place to be. The fund held up brilliantly in the bear market of 2000–02 and has done so once more. True, its strategy isn’t one that lends itself to powerful rallies—hence the e-mails in 2006—but it has produced solid long-term returns with less risk than most. Dreifus’ record extends well beyond that of Royce Special. He also produced strong returns at Lazard and Oppenheimer. In 2008, the fund lost 19.6%. That’s an impressive 1,400 basis points better than the category average. The fund’s small-value stomping grounds were full of dangerous value traps, such as mortgage lenders, real estate plays, and a slew of cyclical stocks that were highly dependent on financing. Dreifus avoided all that quite nicely, and he even had a handful of winners like National Presto NPK, Watsco WSO, and Wabtec WAB. Fixed-Income Manager of the Year Bob Rodriguez and Thomas H. Atteberry of FPA New Income FPNIX I can only think of two managers who can claim to have largely predicted the mortgage- led meltdown in financials: Jeremy Grantham and Bob Rodriguez. From his perch in Los Angeles, Rodriguez had a good view of the insane housing speculation and the crazy mortgages behind them. As someone who places capital preservation above all else, Rodriguez works furiously to squeeze all forms of risk out of his portfolio. So, even before 2007, he steered clear of default risk, interest-rate risk, and any other kind of risk out there. True, it meant passing up the chance for big returns and, as has been the case before, he did miss out on some rallies. But when everything hit the fan in 2007 and 2008, the fund was on safe ground. The fund gained 4.3% in 2008. That’s 920 basis points better than the average intermediate-term bond fund. That’s a remarkable feat in a world where R2_0109.qxp 1/6/09 3:44 PM Page 9 Morningstar FundInvestor winners and losers are usually separated by 30 basis points. But all that risk aversion came at the expense of long-term gains, right? Not really. The fund’s 10year returns are in the top 5% of its category. International-Stock Manager of the Year David Samra and Dan O’Keefe of Artisan International Value ARTKX David Samra and Dan O’Keefe have done an outstanding job applying a deep-value strategy overseas. The pair worked at Harris Associates (manager of Oakmark funds) prior to joining Artisan, and it’s apparent in their style. They look for companies with clean balance sheets trading at big discounts to their estimates. That investment discipline kept them largely away from the financials that got pummeled. As a result, the fund lost 29%. Although that’s not pretty, it’s a far sight better than the 48% loss posted by the average foreign small/mid-value fund and the 44% loss at MSCI EAFE. The longer-term record is even more impressive. Since its 2002 inception, a $10,000 investment would be worth $22,561 compared with $14,297 for the MSCI EAFE. That return was aided by a decision to close the fund in a timely manner before assets got out of hand. The fund recently reopened as assets have shrunk and opportunities have grown. Note: O’Keefe was a fund analyst at Morningstar in the mid-1990s. Runners-Up Bob Goldfarb and David Poppe of Sequoia Fund SEQUX Bob Goldfarb and David Poppe didn’t start Sequoia Fund, but they’ve done a great job of keeping it on the path of its founders. Bob Goldfarb joined the firm in 1975 and became Sequoia’s comanager in 1998. Poppe joined in 2001 and became comanager in 2005. Sequoia usually makes its money buying proven firms that are hiding in plain sight. That emphasis on quality helped to limit the damage in 2008 as the fund’s holdings have strong balance sheets and strong market positions. The fund’s 27% loss was 1,000 basis points better than the S&P 500’s. January 2009 9 Jean-Marie Eveillard of First Eagle Overseas SGOVX Jean-Marie Eveillard and then-comanager Charles de Vaulx won our award for their 2001 performance, and once more Eveillard’s strategy has succeeded in a tough market. True, Eveillard did lose money in 2008, but he held up far better once more. There’s also a complicated story on management to tell in order to give due credit to all who contributed to these fund’s strong returns. Eveillard retired in 2004 and his shoes were filled by de Vaulx. However, de Vaulx departed in 2007, and Eveillard came back to keep the fund going. He will retire in 2009 and hand the reins to Matt McLennan and Abhay Deshpande. Thus, Eveillard made tremendous contributions over the years to this fund and deserves recognition for it, but we also recognize de Vaulx’s contribution as well as those of the analysts on the fund over the years. Bill Gross and Team: Harbor Bond HABDX and PIMCO Total Return PTTRX Wow. What a strong finish to a great year for America’s biggest mutual fund. Bill Gross and PIMCO saw the value destruction in housing and the likely harm to the economy. As a result PIMCO Total Return Bond and virtual clone Harbor Bond were positioned defensively for the mortgage mess. They were also positioned well for the government takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. As a result, they finished 2008 with a solid 4.8% return at the PIMCO fund and 3.3% at the Harbor fund—better than just about any fund of any class. Although they had some Freddie and Fannie debt, Gross and team steered clear of much of nonagency mortgage and asset-backed sectors At a time when some of the biggest hedge funds are blowing up and one proved to be a Ponzi scheme, it’s heartening to see the biggest mutual fund providing a nice positive return in the year that fund investors needed it most. And they did so for modest management fees not, “2 and 20.” PIMCO Total Return is a great standard-bearer for the fund industry. œ Contact Russel Kinnel at [email protected] CN RF_0109.qxp 1/6/09 2:55 PM Page 10 10 These Funds Disappointed The Contrarian | Russel Kinnel Our Contrarian Approach I go against the grain to find overlooked funds that may be ready to rally. It’s easy to spot which funds were the biggest losers, but I thought I’d spell out which funds I found most disappointing in 2008. These are funds with good managers who did worse than their strategies suggested they should have. I haven’t included some of the obvious funds with bad managers or awful strategies with results that didn’t surprise me. I’m not giving up on all these funds, but it’s worth reviewing what happened to them this year. I covered Schneider funds in the last issue, so I’ll skip them here. Fidelity Magellan FMAGX | Harry Lange has a distinguished record, but everything went wrong last year. He owned the worst financials and some of the worst tech. The fund got barbecued and fell to 1 star for the first time in its history. Now the fund has a $19 billion asset base for the first time since 1991. Lange’s record suggests a comeback is likely, but Fidelity’s weakness across the board gives me pause. Western Asset Core Bond WATFX | This fund tends to take on a touch more risk than its peers, but, man, did it stink up the joint in 2008. Its losses were worse than they should have been. On top of that, the fund has had some personnel changes and is tweaking its strategy. That triple whammy led us to drop the fund from our picks list. Janus | A while back I wrote about my picks from Janus and received some questions about why I didn’t pick Contrarian JSVAX, which had the best record at the time. Well, it wouldn’t really be a contrarian column if I picked a hot fund with top-percentile performance, would it? We pointed out that Contrarian and Overseas JAOSX were running big risks with their India investments, and, unfortunately, those risks became real in 2008. Equally disappointing was that the funds that avoided India got burned, too. Third Avenue Value TAVFX | Marty Whitman has done such a great job preserving capital over the years that I wouldn’t have guessed that he would lose 46% in 2008. His record is strong enough that I haven’t lost faith, but it’s still a big surprise. Legg Mason Value LMVTX | Bill Miller’s bias against energy actually ended up being good, but his fund still got smacked. Internet and insurance plays killed this fund. So did value traps like Eastman Kodak EK and Merrill Lynch MER. Miller’s a good investor, but the fund’s too expensive to be worth a bet on a comeback. Aegis Value AVALX | This fund had a horrific second half, and redemptions could add to its woes. Ariel ARGFX | This fund held up beautifully in the last bear market, but it got smacked this time out because of problems with industrial stocks, newspapers, and asset managers. There are good fundamentals here, but 2008 was a huge disappointment. Oakmark Select OAKLX | This fund’s 2008 loss was a little smaller than most, but it still smarts to see what became of Washington Mutual. It’s tough to excuse the fact that manager Bill Nygren let it grow to 16% of assets. Shouldn’t rapid growth and signs that real estate was in a bubble have led him to recognize that he shouldn’t risk investor’s capital like that? Sure, it’s easy to say with hindsight, but it does stick in my craw a bit. œ Contact Russel Kinnel at [email protected] CN RF_0109.qxp 1/6/09 2:55 PM Page 11 Morningstar FundInvestor Set Your Expectations Low for Treasury Funds Red Flags | Daniel Culloton What is Red Flags? Red Flags is designed to alert you to funds’ hidden risks. Such risks can take many forms, including asset bloat, the departure of a solid manager, or a focus on an overhyped asset class. Not every fund featured in Red Flags is a sell, and in fact, some are good long-term holdings. But investors should be prepared for a potentially bumpier ride in the near future. Treasury bond funds and other funds with big helpings of securities backed by the full faith and credit of federal government have been shelters in the past year’s storm. Besides the bear-market category, which includes funds that profit when stocks decline, the short-, intermediate-, and long-government bond-fund groups were the only ones with gains for 2008. The bear market has routed many investors out of equities and corporate bonds and into Treasuries, driving their prices up and their yields down. For 2008, the longgovernment category gained 27.2%, the short-government 4.8%, and the intermediate-government 4.9%, while stocks plunged and the Morningstar Corporate Bond Index dropped by more than 5%. Those fleeing to Treasury bond funds are likely to be disappointed, though. Yields on Treasury securities of all maturities are near historic lows. The real yields, which factor in the effects of inflation, on some shorter-dated Treasuries, such as three-month bills, actually turned negative in early December. That means that investors were technically paying the government to borrow their money. Giving the Feds a few dollars to warehouse your money may seem preferable to seeing more than 40% of your capital immolated in the equity markets now, but it’s not a viable long-term investment strategy. Those low yields won’t keep pace with inflation, and when the stock market turns and investors start ditching Treasuries, the returns of funds that own them will evaporate. Also, the Federal Reserve’s and U.S. Treasury’s rate cuts and bailouts could give way to rate increases in the future when the crisis and deflation concerns wane, and Treasuries are very sensitive to interest-rate changes. So, by avoiding equity risks, investors jumping into these funds now are exposing themselves to other kinds of hazards. January 2009 11 Even good funds are susceptible. We screened the Morningstar FundInvestor 500 for government-bond funds with above-average trailing one-year returns and below-average yields to find funds that might not be as safe in the future as they look right now. While these funds are still good at what they do, they can only do so much from here with yields so low. Vanguard Short-Term Treasury VFISX gained 6.7% in 2008 and beat about three fourths of its shortgovernment peers. This comes on the heels of a nearly 8% gain in 2007. The fund has benefited from the flight to quality. Manager David Glocke recognizes that the worm could turn and has tried to position the fund accordingly by buying government-agency mortgage-backed securities and even some Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities. But the fund’s teeny 1.5% yield is now more than a full percentage point lower than that of the S&P 500 Index and offers scant capital appreciation potential. The story is similar at Vanguard IntermediateTerm Treasury VFITX. The fund gained nearly 13.4% in 2008 and now offers a 2.1% yield. Glocke also manages this fund and has taken some of the same steps that he’s taken at Short-Term Treasury, but the risks are the same, too. Fidelity Intermediate Government FSTGX and Fidelity Government Income FGOVX manager Bill Irving also is aware of the hazards. He’s been underweighting low-yielding Treasuries relative to the funds’ benchmarks, but the funds still carry aboveaverage Treasury stakes for the intermediate-government category, and that is sure-temper absolute returns when investors shed their risk aversion. These are still good funds, but don’t expect them to put up 10% or 11% returns as they have recently. œ Contact Daniel Culloton at [email protected] News_0109.qxp 1/6/09 3:46 PM Page 12 12 Bonds Rally While Stocks Plateau Benchmark Performance Market Overview | Greg Carlson Total Return % through 12-31-08 1Mo YTD 3Yr 5Yr 10Yr Large Growth Large Blend Large Value 2.1 2.3 2.3 -40.9 -37.9 -37.4 -10.6 -9.1 -9.2 -3.8 -2.6 -2.2 -3.3 -1.8 0.2 Mid-Cap Growth Mid-Cap Blend Mid-Cap Value 2.9 4.5 4.8 -43.9 -39.7 -37.0 -11.2 -10.5 -9.6 -2.7 -1.9 -1.1 0.1 2.4 3.8 Small Growth Small Blend Small Value 4.9 5.5 5.3 -41.8 -36.9 -32.5 -11.5 -10.5 -9.7 -3.7 -1.8 -1.0 1.8 4.3 5.7 Conservative Allocation Moderate Allocation 3.2 3.2 -18.9 -28.2 -2.8 -5.4 0.0 -0.6 1.7 0.9 Specialty-Precious Metals 24.9 Specialty-Natural Resources -1.4 Specialty-Technology 3.7 Specialty-Utilities 0.0 Specialty-Health 6.9 Specialty-Financials 1.4 Specialty-Real Estate 15.7 Specialty-Communications 3.2 Global Real Estate 8.0 -30.1 -47.6 -45.1 -34.7 -23.0 -45.3 -42.2 -49.7 -46.7 4.3 -7.5 -12.0 -0.7 -4.3 -17.4 -12.9 -12.6 -12.0 6.4 6.8 -5.6 6.6 1.1 -7.3 -0.5 -2.8 1.0 13.8 10.7 -3.8 2.6 5.0 -0.1 6.7 -5.5 7.1 S&P 500 S&P MidCap 400 Russell 2000 1.1 4.9 5.8 -37.0 -36.2 -33.8 -8.4 -8.8 -8.3 -2.2 -0.1 -0.9 -1.4 4.5 3.0 Diversified Asia/Pac.

Nevertheless, thanks in part to yet another slashing of interest rates by the Federal Reserve Board (to below 1%), equities’ returns were far more palatable than in the dark days of October. The S&P 500 Index gained 1% for the month, and the worst loss suffered by any Morningstar sector-fund category was a mere 1.5% (by natural-resources funds, which focus heavily on energy stocks). The best performers were precious metals (up 25%) and real estate (up 16%). American Century Global Gold BGEIX gained 27% as gold led precious metals in December. Small-cap funds held up better than largecap funds for the month due to the rate cut; smaller fry tend to perform better when borrowing money is easier. Both Fidelity Small Cap Retirement FSCRX and Buffalo Small Cap BUFSX posted an impressive 10% gain for the month. Overseas stocks and bonds outpaced U.S. securities in December as the U.S. dollar sank against many currencies because of bad economic news and falling consumer confidence. Asian markets did particularly well; the typical diversified Pacific/Asia fund gained 10%, while large-blend funds were flat for the month. Janus Contrarian JSVAX, a large-blend fund that has sported a hefty stake in emerging-markets stocks in recent years, managed a 10% gain for the month (though it suffered for its boldness for the whole of 2008, with a 49% loss). December was kind to fixed-income markets, thanks in part to the rate cut: Intermediate-term bond funds gained 3%. Even high-yield bond funds mounted a recovery, gaining 4% in December despite worries about the economy—an indication of how beaten-down they were. Likewise, convertible-bond funds gained 4%. However, bank-loan funds fell 3%. œ A N N U A L I Z E D News_0109.qxp 1/6/09 3:46 PM Page 13 Morningstar FundInvestor Artisan Mid-Cap Value Holds Up Well While Aegis Value Suffers Leaders & Laggards | Greg Carlson 3 Ten Best-Performing Funds Fund Name YTD Cat Rank % AmCent Equity Income Inv Baird Intm Muni Bd Inst Champlain Small Co Adv Fidelity Adv Small Cap T Fidelity Float Rt Hi Inc Matthews Asia Pac Eq Inc Mutual Qualified A USAA International Meridian Growth Mutual European A 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 33 Ten Worst-Performing Funds Fund Name YTD Cat Rank % Fidelity Convertible Sec Aegis Value Legg Mason Value Prim Schneider Value Bridgeway Aggr Inv 2 Davis Appr & Income A Fidelity Leverage Co Stk Fidelity Value Neuberger Ber Part Inv Schneider Small Cap Val 100 99 99 99 98 98 98 98 98 98 Leaders Artisan Mid Cap Value ARTQX This recently reopened fund’s managers have made all the right moves lately. A longstanding, successful bet on energy stocks was trimmed just prior to the sector’s precipitous decline on valuation concerns, for example. But this team has demonstrated its ability to look beyond simple valuation metrics; it didn’t jump into financials when they started to appear quite cheap, correctly anticipating that balance-sheet issues would worsen (and saving a lot of money in the process). As a result, the fund has lost 28% in 2008’s brutal market, holding up better than 90% of its category rivals. That’s par for the course; the team’s long-term records at this charge and Artisan Small Cap Value ARTVX are superb. First Eagle Overseas SGOVX This fund’s cautious, price-sensitive approach has historically shone in bear markets, and 2008 proved to be no exception. Manager Jean-Marie Eveillard (who came out of retirement to run this fund, but will step down again in March 2009) has recently steered clear of emerging-markets stocks, which became too richly priced for his taste. That wariness paid off when developing markets fell sharply in the second half of 2008. (A hefty cash stake helped, too.) All told, the fund posted a 21% loss in 2008, but that bested nearly all of its foreign small/mid-value peers. FPA New Income FPNIX A bold move finally paid off here, and in a big way. For years, manager Bob Rodriguez insisted that a credit crunch was coming and that high-yield debt was greatly overvalued, and he positioned the fund to benefit by holding short-term, high-quality bonds. The fund lagged over the past month as funds with longer durations (a measure of interest-rate sensitivity) have rallied following the recent rate cut, but its 4% gain for the year tops 85% of its intermediate-term rivals. January 2009 13 Laggards Aegis Value AVALX This fund is struggling mightily in a liquidity crisis. Manager Scott Barbee buys tiny companies selling at dirt-cheap valuations—such names are often traded lightly, and investors have fled companies with potentially dicey balance sheets. What’s more, the fund held very little cash going into this downturn (in stark contrast to 2002, when a hefty cash stake buoyed returns). It held up well for most of 2008 but has been crushed since the financial crisis took hold in September: It lost 51% for the year, one of the category’s worst showings. Lately, the fund has suffered outflows and that may be making the situation worse as it holds lightly traded stocks. If the problem persists, we might see outflows start to hurt returns and that could in turn spur more outflows. Royce Opportunity RYPNX It shouldn’t be surprising to see this small-value fund struggle in an economic downturn and a liquidity crisis. Manager Buzz Zaino likes to buy tiny, ignored companies (half the fund’s assets are stashed in micro-caps) that are selling cheaply. Such firms often have more debt on their balance sheets than bigger ones, and investors tend to shy away from volatile fare when times are tough. As a result, the fund has lost 46% in 2008, more than 95% of its category peers. But it has typically performed quite well when the market rebounds. Janus Overseas JAOSX Brett Lynn, who’s managed this fund for five years, seeks out fast-growing companies and is willing to pay up for them. His tastes have resulted in a hefty 35% stake in emerging-markets stocks—one of the foreign large-growth category’s biggest—and those markets were hammered in 2008. The fund’s painful 53% loss for the year trails its typical rival by 6 percentage points. Nevertheless, its record on Lynn’s watch is stellar, and the fund recently reopened to new investors. It’s an intriguing buying opportunity. œ News_0109.qxp 1/6/09 3:46 PM Page 14 14 Fund Manager Changes American Century Ultra TWCUX Fund News Impact: Negative 12-11-08 Tom Telford, who was lead manager since 2006, has left the firm and was replaced by Keith Lee and Michael Li, who run American Century Select TWCIX. Steve Lurito, American Century’s chief investment officer, remains at the fund. | Our Take: Telford’s three-year record was mixed. He had a great 2007 and weak performance in 2006 and 2008. It’s not that we are unconvinced Telford is a great manager, but continued manager changes at American Century give us pause. The firm let three other investment professionals go, and we don’t like to see firms shrinking in the downturn. Fairholme FAIRX Impact: Neutral 12-01-08 Keith Trauner stepped down as a day-to-day manager to focus solely on research, much like Larry Pitkowsky did earlier in the year. Firm founder and lead manager Bruce Berkowitz remains in charge, and Pitkowsky and Trauner will still contribute ideas for Berkowitz to include in the portfolios. | Our Take: Berkowitz is still in charge, and, while responsibilities were shifted, no one is leaving, so no worries. MFS Total Return MSFRX Impact: Negative 11-20-08 Greg Locraft, who ran one fourth of the portfolio, left MFS as part of some firm staff cuts. Locraft ran MFS Strategic Value MSVTX, which was cloned for one fourth of the equity portfolio. He became lead manager there in early 2008, so we didn’t have much to go on. His sleeve was handed over to Brooks Taylor, who already ran half of the equity portfolio. | Our Take: Although we didn’t have enough to go on to evaluate Locraft, the staff cuts at MFS are a worry. Oakmark International OAKGX Impact: Neutral 01-28-09 Rob Taylor, manager of Analyst Pick Oakmark Global OAKGX, will become comanager of Oakmark International, joining seasoned skipper and Morningstar’s 2006 International-Stock Manager of the Year, David Herro. | Our Take: Both International and Global funds have held up well versus their peers amid the recent market turmoil and have impressive long-term records. Van Kampen Equity and Income ACEIX Impact: Neutral 12-01-08 Lead fixed-income manager Steven Kreider has stepped down from his role. Sanjay Verma, co-head of U.S. fixed income, will take over Kreider’s responsibilities. | Our Take: The disruption should be minimal as Morgan Stanley uses a team-managed approach and all other members of the fixed-income team are staying put. Verma and his team will continue running the fixed-income sleeve of Equity and Income with the goal of providing stability and current income. Management will keep the bulk of the portfolio in high-quality bonds and make minimal interest-rate bets. Vanguard Morgan Growth VMRGX Impact: Neutral 11-28-08 Vanguard has added two new subadvisors here to replace quant manager Franklin Portfolio Associates, LLC. This will be the first Vanguard assignment for the $4.8 billion firm Frontier Capital Management Co., LLC. Frontier senior vice president Stephen Knightly will manage Frontier’s stake, following a fundamental approach that focuses on mid-cap companies. Ford Draper Jr., president and CIO of Kalmar Investment Advisers, will manage another portion. The $2.7 billion firm has served as an advisor to Vanguard Explorer VEXPX since 2005. The two new advisors will run approximately 20% of the $6.4 billion Morgan Growth. | Our Take: We like Kalmar based on its record at Kalmar Growth-with-Value Small Cap KGSCX, and we don’t know Frontier well. However, the change affects only one fifth of the portfolio. Wellington’s Paul Marrkand runs 40% and therefore has the greatest influence of any of the managers, and we have confidence in Wellington. Vanguard Shuts Two Money Market Funds Vanguard closed Vanguard Admiral Treasury Money Market and Vanguard Treasury Money Market to new investments in defined contributions plans. It also won’t accept additional assets from any other financial advisor, intermediary, and institutional accounts. Existing investors in defined contribution plans may still open new accounts or add to them. Vanguard’s decision came within hours of the Fed’s announcement to lower its key rates from 1% to a range of 0% to 0.25%. Like most money market offerings, both Vanguard funds invest heavily in short-term Treasuries with yields closely tied to Fed fund rates. With Fed fund rates at all-time lows, money market funds have been struggling to stay in positive territory after accounting for management fees. Vanguard has an advantage over the rest with low expense ratios of 0.10% for Admiral Treasury Money Market and 0.24% for Treasury Money Market. Vanguard to Launch Foreign Small-Cap Fund Vanguard is planning to add a new small-cap international index fund to its lineup. Vanguard FTSE All-World ex-US Small-Cap Index will track the FTSE Global ex-US Small-Cap Index, which follows more than 3,300 stocks in 47 countries. Estimated expenses for the retail share class are 0.60% and will require a minimum investment of $3,000. ETF shares are also available at a cost of 0.38%. This will be Vanguard’s first small-cap international index fund. It is expected to launch in early 2009. PIMCO Total Return Is the Biggest Not too long ago, American Funds Growth Fund of America AGTHX was the biggest fund by $50 billion or $60 billion, but now it’s shrunk while PIMCO Total Return PTTRX has gained. PIMCO Total Return has $128 billion and Growth Fund of American has $117 billion. Interestingly, PIMCO rose to the top in the last bear market, too. There’s a new sheriff in town. News_0109.qxp 1/6/09 3:46 PM Page 15 Morningstar FundInvestor Meanwhile, my jaw dropped when I took a look at Fidelity Magellan’s FMAGX numbers. It had a nasty 49% 2008 loss, and the resulting redemptions have shrunk Magellan all the way down to $19 billion. The last time it was that small, George H.W. Bush was in the White House and Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch topped the music charts. For the first time since I’ve been at Morningstar, we can’t say that asset size is a problem for Magellan. Harry Lange’s a good manager, too, so who knows—maybe next year is the year that Magellan turns the corner. AllianceBernstein Cuts Jobs AllianceBernstein is the latest firm to announce cutbacks, as the deepening financial crisis has cut into the firm’s profits. The firm saw its assets under management decrease by approximately $30 billion, or 6.2%, in November 2008 alone. The layoffs will affect members of the investment staff as well as client services and marketing employees. The firm’s research staff, which the firm had steadily built up within the last few years, has been reduced by an estimated 8% to 10%. After the layoffs, the count will stand at 85 growth analysts, 66 value analysts, and 62 fixedincome analysts. January 2009 of senior executives and portfolio managers bought the firm from its bankrupt parent, Lehman Brothers. At ClearBridge, Sundman will fill a void left by the departure in March 2008 of its former chief, Brian Posner. Funds That Reopened in 2008 So many funds reopened in 2008 that it’s tough to keep track of them. So, we gathered all the Morningstar 500 funds that reopened together in the table below.

R3_0109.qxp 1/6/09 3:47 PM Page 16 16 The Focused 10 Funds Hold Their Own in a Trying Year The FundInvestor Focused 10 | Greg Carlson Equities had an awful time in 2008. Amidst a financial crisis, a slowing economy, and the drying up of credit markets, investors fled stocks, particularly those with even a hint of financial or price risk. Compact portfolios put the focus on stock-picking, and the managers of most of the Focused 10 funds have done a relatively solid job. True, each fund has posted a hefty absolute loss, but seven of the 10 have held up better than at least 85% of their category peers, and only two funds underperformed. Let’s take a closer look at how each one fared in 2008. Ariel Focus ARFFX This large-value fund was just added to the Focused 10 in October 2008, replacing Ariel Appreciation CAAPX because it’s more concentrated (22 stocks versus 33 for Appreciation). It’s run by managers Charles Bobrinskoy and Tim Fidler using the same Warren Buffettinspired process as its much older siblings. They buy firms with sustainable competitive edges and solid returns on capital at a discount to their intrinsic value. The fund held up better than 60% of its large-value rivals in 2008 thanks to relatively sturdy top holdings such as Johnson & Johnson JNJ and consultant Accenture ACN. Brown Capital Management Small Co. BCSIX Small growth has been the second-worst performing of the domestic-stock fund categories that represent the nine boxes in the Morningstar Style Box—the typical fund lost 37% for the year. But this fund’s veteran management team has navigated the environment with aplomb, losing 10 percentage points less. The team looks for companies with lasting advantages that it can hold for years, and its picks have held up relatively well. Also, the fund didn’t hold any energy or financial stocks, two sectors that were pummeled in the latter half of 2008. The fund will go through dry spells due to its biases, but we think it’s a fine longterm holding. Clipper CFIMX This fund has been a big disappointment. When managers Chris Davis and Ken Feinberg (of Selected American Shares SLADX) took over in early 2006 and announced they’d retain its concentrated look—it owns about 25 stocks, typically—we thought this format would allow them to shine given their outstanding records on their other charges. But their long-standing preference for financial firms hit this fund hard; it held some of the worst blowups in the sector, including American International Group AIG, Merrill Lynch MER, and Ambac ABK. It lost 50% and landed in its category’s bottom decile. That said, we have a lot of confidence in the team and the investment process behind this fund as Davis and Feinberg have a strong long-term record at Selected American Shares. Fairholme FAIRX Bruce Berkowitz and his team are on a roll: They steered this fund to its eighth top-quartile showing in the large-blend category in nine years of operation. They’ve made all the right moves; this once financialsheavy fund steered clear of the worst names in that sector and built a huge stake in drugmakers like Pfizer PFE, which held up relatively well as investors recognized their still-steady revenues and now-hefty dividend yields. As a result, the fund declined 30%, less than 90% of its rivals—and it remains a keeper. FMI Large Cap FMIHX Here’s yet another fund that focuses on durable business models and fairly cheap stocks, and it benefited greatly from that emphasis in 2008. The fund lost 27% in 2008, a full 11 percentage points better than its typical large-blend rival. Managers Patrick English and Ted Kellner have held hefty stakes in service-oriented names with steadier revenues, such as uniformrental business Cintas CTAS, and makers of consumer goods like Kimberly-Clark KMB, which held up relatively well. The managers have proven to be deft stock-pickers over the whole of their seven-year tenure, too. Jensen JENSX We reviewed this large-growth fund in the August issue, and its approach—an insistence on buying R3_0109.qxp 1/6/09 3:47 PM Page 17 Morningstar FundInvestor January 2009 17 The FundInvestor Focused 10 Fund Name Category Manager Name (Tenure Years) Ariel Focus ARFFX Brown Capital Mgmt BCSIX Clipper CFIMX Fairholme FAIRX FMI Large Cap FMIHX Jensen JENSX Mairs & Power Growth MPGFX Matrix Advisors Value MAVFX Oakmark Select I OAKLX Sequoia SEQUX Large Value Small Growth Large Blend Large Blend Large Blend Large Growth Large Blend Large Blend Large Blend Large Blend Fidler/Bobrinskoy (3.6) Management Team (16.5) Davis/Feinberg (3.0) Management Team (9.1) Kellner/English (7.1) Management Team (16.0) Frels/Henneman (9.1) David A.

We shine the spotlight on 10 funds from the FundInvestor 500 that follow a focused, low-turnover strategy. companies that consistently crank out sizable returns on equity and sell at a significant discount to their intrinsic values—continues to work best when times are tough. Rock-solid firms at the top of the portfolio like Wells Fargo WFC and Abbott Laboratories ABT were roughly flat, and the fund’s 29% loss in 2008 ranks among the category’s very best showings. It tends to lag when markets rally fiercely, but it’s a fine holding. Mairs & Power Growth MPGFX William Frels, who became lead skipper here when longtime manager George Mairs retired in mid-2004, has kept up a tradition of investing in sturdy firms close to its home base of Minneapolis and holding on to them for years (sometimes more than a decade). That approach often looks out of step when economically sensitive fare rallies, but it’s made this largeblend fund relatively buoyant in tough markets—it lost 29% in 2008, for example, but that bested 94% of its rivals. What’s more, its long-term risk-adjusted returns are superb. Matrix Advisors Value MAVFX We’re not surprised that this bold mutual fund struggled in 2008. Manager David Katz isn’t afraid to load up on volatile sectors such as technology when he thinks such names are cheap. The fund’s aboveaverage stake in the sector hurt in 2008 as names such as semiconductor maker Novellus Systems NVLS have seen their prospects dim in the slowing economy. As a result, the fund lost 40% in 2008 and lagged two thirds of its large-blend rivals. But Katz has built a record of solid, if volatile, returns over the very long haul. Oakmark OAKMX The same biases that have held back this fund for much of the decade are now paying off. Manager Bill Nygren has long avoided energy firms because he didn’t think he could properly value them due to their reliance on volatile commodity prices—and now the sector is rapidly falling back to earth. His recent taste for bigger firms with histories of steady growth has also helped in a panicky environment. All told, the fund lost 33% in 2008, but that loss bested 85% of the fund’s large-blend rivals. Although its longerterm trailing returns are still just so-so, we continue to counsel patience with this fund. Sequoia SEQUX A market this ugly suits this, the quintessential Buffett-style fund, quite well on a relative basis. The managers buy only firms with excellent management teams, strong competitive advantages, and easyto-understand businesses; hang on for the long haul; and aren’t afraid to let cash build when opportunities are scarce. These types of companies, like Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway BRK.B and fastener distributor Fastenal FAST, have managed to retain more of investors’ faith than their peers. Thus, the fund lost 27%, trouncing its typical rival and the S&P 500 Index. It recently reopened to new investors for the first time in 25 years, and we strongly recommend it. œ Contact Greg Carlson at [email protected] FAPTrack_0109.qxp 1/6/09 2:56 PM Page 18 18 Growth Funds Hold Up Nicely Tracking Fund Analyst Picks | Russel Kinnel What are Morningstar Fund Analyst Picks? Our picks are chosen for longterm success. We focus on proven fundamentals such as management, strategy, costs, stewardship, and long-term performance. It’s gratifying that all but one of our large-growth Fund Analyst Picks outperformed in 2008, but, man, am I eager to see them make some money rather than lose less than their peers. Since they were first picked, four of our picks are soundly beating the large-growth average, four are right in line with the average, and Jensen JENSX is a brand-new pick. We like growth managers who dig into fundamentals like balance sheets and valuations rather than simply chasing after the market’s hot themes, so it makes sense that they’d generally hold up well in a down market. A number offer great ways to gain access to high-quality companies now trading at pretty cheap prices. Harbor Capital Appreciation HACAX has lost about 500 basis points less than the typical large-growth fund since we chose it. Subadvisor Jennison has a deep team and a strong investment discipline. Vanguard Capital Opportunity VHCOX was picked in 1999 (with a break while it closed), and it’s been a rewarding fund. From August 1999 through December 2008, it gained 62% versus a 36% loss for the average large-growth fund. Sibling Vanguard Primecap VPMCX is up 25% versus an 18% loss since it was picked in October 2001. Vanguard Primecap Core VPCCX is down 8% versus a 21% loss for large growth since we picked it in 2005, and Primecap Odyssey Growth POGRX is down a tad less than typical largegrowth fund since we picked it in 2007. What can I say, I like Primecap. It has experienced analysts and managers who do great fundamental research that enables them to outperform over the long haul by losing a lot less in sell-offs and matching or modestly beating their peers in most rallies. Capital Opportunity and Primecap are still closed, but the newer Primecap Core and Odyssey Growth are open and look like great buys today. Compared with Odyssey Growth, Primecap Core is larger cap and has heavier weightings in value sectors. Odyssey Growth is more aggressive with 31% in tech and 31% in health care compared with 22% and 25%, respectively, for Primecap Core. Primecap Core is 25 basis points cheaper than Odyssey Growth. Aston/Montag & Caldwell Growth MCGFX is ahead of large growth since we picked it in late 2003. That’s pretty good considering what a tough market it’s been for blue-chip growth stocks. In 2008 that focus substantially cut the fund’s losses because it owns strong cash-generating companies that will be hurt much less by the recession than most. It has potential to keep going in rallies, too, thanks to manager Ron Canakaris, who has been at the helm since 1994. Joe Milano has lost a little less than the average large-growth fund in 2008, and T. Rowe Price New America Growth’s PRWAX returns since we chose it in 2004 are modestly ahead of the averages. Milano likes high-quality companies and reasonable prices, too, but he will veer away from blue chips, unlike Aston. Thus, you have names like Gamestop GME and Smith International SII that have been hit harder than some tamer names like Medco MHS and United Parcel Service UPS. Still, Milano generally produces second-quartile returns, and that’s enough to make this fund a winner over the long haul. Brandywine Blue BLUEX is our most aggressive large- growth pick, and unfortunately it’s showing lately. This momentum fund lost a harsh 45% in 2008. In the prior down market, manager Bill D’Alonzo’s finely tuned antennae helped the fund avoid the worst of the downturn. But this time the whiplash nature of the market has caught the fund off guard a couple of times. Some poorly timed moves into energy and tech have hurt. Despite that bad year, the fund’s 10-year returns are top decile. œ Contact Russel Kinnel at [email protected] FAPTrack_0109.qxp 1/6/09 2:56 PM Page 19 Morningstar FundInvestor January 2009 19 Tracking Our Picks Trailing 5 Years Trailing 3 years % Picks in Top Quartile Trailing 3 months Asset Group Batting Average Batting Average % Picks in Top Quartile Balanced 80.84 59.36 77.45 43.46 Batting Average 65.00 % Picks in Top Quartile 25.33 International Stock 71.25 39.96 63.66 39.43 55.17 37.93 Municipal Bond 86.63 74.57 86.70 63.16 90.00 30.00 Taxable Bond 69.80 39.59 69.73 38.74 62.07 27.59 U.S. Stock 60.23 32.59 56.31 28.31 50.52 33.33 Data through Nov. 30, 2008.

Income Strategist | Lawrence Jones Welcome to Income Strategist Income Strategist is a new feature in which we identify investing opportunities for investors who want to boost income without taking big risks. In addition to stating a case for a certain asset class, category, or type of mutual fund, we will also explain the ins and outs of various income strategies. To help tell the story, we’ll provide market data that will help you get a sense of where things stand. We launched this column in February with an article that made the case for municipal-bond funds being an area of the market that looked incredibly cheap, so it makes sense for us to revisit that thesis as we close the year. Since we first wrote about munis, they’ve gotten even cheaper and they still look compelling. As fallout from the subprime-mortgage meltdown and the liquidity crisis rained down on the economy, the municipal markets suffered one dramatic jolt after another. The markets were depressed by a crisis of confidence in the creditworthiness of municipalbond insurers, the failure of auction-rate securities markets, and significant sales of municipal bonds by highly leveraged market participants. Hedge funds that had taken advantage of municipal arbitrage strategies reportedly started unwinding them dramatically when losses on other positions, and margin calls, forced them to sell their most liquid positions. In the first two thirds of 2008, the municipal market was on pace to produce a record year in terms of new issuance. But as hedge funds and Wall Street trading desks departed the market and retail investors grew increasingly skittish, demand for the securities waned, putting great pressure on prices. Yet there’s good evidence to suggest that market participants have overshot in their fear and risk aversion here. At our last writing on munis, the difference between the 30-day SEC yield on Vanguard IntermediateTerm Tax-Exempt VWITX and Vanguard Intermediate-Term Treasury VFITX was a negative 0.22, meaning that the Tax-Exempt fund had a higher nominal yield than the Treasury fund. (Munis typically yield less than Treasuries.) Since then, however, munis have seen further price declines, and Treasury yields have dipped further, as that sector has enjoyed a flight-toquality rally in 2008. Thus, when we look at the graph on the facing page, we see that the yield spread between the two aforementioned funds has expanded The yields on generic general-obligation municipal bonds have historically ranged from 80% to 95% of those of comparable maturity Treasury issues, but today the yield on a typical 30-year AAA rated muni GO is near 5.20% while a 30-year Treasury is yielding 2.94%, or an astounding 177% yield ratio. The severe market disruptions suffered by virtually all fixed-income sectors in the months following the Sept. 15 collapse of Lehman Brothers, as well as the factors mentioned above, are largely to blame, although the economic recession has also raised fears over municipal budgetary health. Still, we’re confident because defaults are incredibly rare. A Moody’s study of average cumulative 10-year default rates for investment-grade munis from 1970 to 2005 placed the level at 0.07%, versus 2.23% for comparable corporate bonds. Managers we’re talking to point out that munis look cheap relative to Treasuries or when looking at other measures of value, such as their yield comparisons to agency-backed mortgage securities. While defaults are rare, creditrating downgrades and issuer-specific trouble can cause bond markdowns that hurt returns. We suggest investors stick to higher-quality munis for now. We like Fidelity Intermediate Municipal Income FLTMX, where manager Mark Sommer continued the fund’s long record of success by avoiding trouble spots such as tobacco bonds, aiding returns. Franklin Federal Tax-Free Income FKTIX is an excellent mutual fund in the muni-national long-term category and is led by manager Sheila Amoroso, who uses a buy-and-hold approach, looking for bonds offering competitive yields and trading at reasonable prices. Despite a recent manager change at Vanguard Long-Term Tax-Exempt VWLTX, the fund’s incredible cost advantage continues to give the fund a leg up. Moreover, we have confidence in manager Reid Smith’s ability to navigate muni markets, and with the builtin advantage he has on cost, he can take fewer risks than rivals and still come out on top. œ Contact Lawrence Jones at [email protected] IS_0109.qxp 1/6/09 2:58 PM Page 21 Morningstar FundInvestor January 2009 21 Bond-Market Snapshot Treasury Yield Curve (%) Yield to maturity of current bills, notes, and bonds Interest-Rate Review 6.00 We have seen Treasury yields continue to decline steeply in December as these issues remained the flight-to-quality asset of choice among investors. The two-year Treasury note yielded 0.76%, while the 30-year note yielded only 2.69% at year-end, a dramatic yield decline from earlier in the year, particularly on the long end of the yield curve. The rally reflects investor fear of both financial-market stability and a recession. That said, we have seen a modest recovery in the high-yield and investment-grade corporate markets, as investors sought higher-yielding opportunities with some of their capital. Continued stress in the municipal markets, as well as Treasuries' rally, widened the gap between muni bond and Treasuries yields to record levels. 5.00 4.00 3.00 One Year Ago (12-30-07) 2.00 1.00 Maturity Current (12-30-08) 1 mo 3 6 1 yr 2 3 5 7 10 20 30 Treasury and Municipal-Bond Yields Vanguard Intermediate-Term Tax-Exempt Inv and Intermediate-Term U.S. Treasury Inv.

Yield Spread: The difference between yields on differing debt instruments, calculated by deducting the yield of one instrument from another. The higher the yield spread, the greater the difference between the yields offered by each instrument. For municipal bonds, a smaller spread is attractive because munis typically pay smaller yields than Treasuries. For high-yield bonds, a wider spread is more attractive because junk bonds typically pay higher yields than Treasuries. 500_0109.qxp 1/6/09 2:58 PM Page 22 22 Jensen Joins the Picks List Changes to the 500 | Russel Kinnel What is Morningstar FundInvestor 500? The Morningstar FundInvestor 500 features the industry’s best and most notable funds. Use the list to get new investment ideas and track the funds you already own. Our 160 Analyst Picks are chosen by the Morningstar fund analysts who specialize in each category. Analysts make their selections based on a fund’s historical risk and return, costs, and their knowledge of the funds’ managers and strategies. We added Jensen JENSX to our Fund Analyst Picks list. As I mentioned in recent issues, I like the managers’ steady, low-turnover focus on blue chips. When the market goes down, it’s a great time to get into high-quality companies on the cheap. The fund invests in the sort of companies that can finance themselves and therefore are much less dependent upon banks than most companies. The fund’s 10-year returns rank in the top 5% of its category. We’re switching our pick from Weitz Value WVALX to Weitz Partners Value WPVLX. Manager Wally Weitz says Partners Value will be an all-cap fund while Value will focus on large caps. We like Weitz’s ability to find value off the beaten track, so Partners gets the nod. Meanwhile, we dropped Western Asset Core WATFX from our picks list. This year has been abysmal for the fund, which had a big bet on nongovernment mortgages. When the Troubled Asset Relief Program was redirected to capital infusions instead of purchases of bad debt, nongovernment mortgages got crushed. In addition, the severity of the recession has meant that even presumably high-quality mortgages are suffering a lot of defaults. In addition to the performance problems, Western is making tweaks to its strategy, bringing in risk-control people, and making some changes in personnel. As I’ve said before, you don’t want to buy a fund when the “under construction” signs go up. Manning & Napier Fund Joins 500 We recently added Manning & Napier World Opportunities EXWAX to our coverage list and were impressed by the strong team it has assembled and the excellent performance it has produced. Take a look at the facing page to learn more about this standout. The foreign large-blend fund charges a 1.14% expense ratio and has a $2,000 minimum. Baird Muni Fund Joins 500 I’m also adding the outstanding Baird Intermediate Municipal Bond BMBIX. Manager Mary Ellen Stanek has produced the best returns in the category using a very conservative approach that has held up nicely in this difficult market. The fund’s five-year return of 3.7% annualized is tops in the intermediate muni category. Stanek and her team invest in high-quality munis and avoid interest-rate bets relative to their benchmark. Instead, they seek to add value by dialing down risk. They have a huge portion of the fund in prerefunded bonds. Prerefunded bonds are bonds in which the issuer has already set aside Treasuries to pay off the debt as soon as they are callable. Thus there’s really no credit risk at all. With muni insurance going away, this type of bond fills the niche for super-safe bonds. To be sure, the fund will lag in better times when investors aren’t so focused on the recession. The fund has a $25,000 minimum and it charges a superlow expense ratio of just 0.30%. Bjurman, Barry Micro-Cap Growth to be Merged Away In the meantime, we’re dropping Bjurman, Barry Micro-Cap Growth BMCFX, which is being merged into GAMCO Westwood Mighty Mites WMMAX. The Bjurman, Barry mutual fund lost a brutal 56% in 2008, and it was down to just $75 billion in assets. Vanguard Insured Long-Term Tax-Exempt Going Away As I mentioned above, the insured muni market is fading and that led Vanguard to merge away Insured Long-Term Tax-Exempt VILPX in December. Thus, it’s gone from the 500. œ Summary of Changes Additions Deletions Manning & Napier World Opp. A Baird Intermediate Muni Bd Inst Bjurman Barry Micro-Cap Growth Fund Analyst Picks Additions Fund Analyst Picks Deletions Weitz Partners Value Jensen Weitz Value Western Asset Core Bond 500_0109.qxp 1/6/09 2:58 PM Page 23 Morningstar FundInvestor Ticker EXWAX Manning & Napier WrldOp A Governance and Management Load None NAV $5.65 Yield 0.8% January 2009 Total Assets $1,141 mil Mstar Category Foreign Large Blend Investment Style Equity Stock % Historical Profile Return High Risk Above Avg Rating Highest Stewardship Grade: Portfolio Manager(s) 77% 77% 93% 92% 91% 89% 94% 23 90% Manager Change Partial Manager Change Management is seasoned.

Its analysts are assigned by global industry and have an all-cap purview. They use a series of discounted cash-flow models to identify stocks they think are trading at more than a 25% discount to fair value. A separate team of economists creates market and economic forecasts that are overlaid on the individual stock suggestions, bolstering or diminishing the appeal of a suggested pick. The fund eschews benchmark weightings, instead buying wherever it sees value.

The fund recently bought Calfrac, a Canadian gas-well-services company, when it tumbled on macroeconomic concerns. Team member Marc Tommassi says the firm is expanding its scale globally and is well positioned to benefit from long-term secular trends. The fund has a couple of other things going for it. At $760 million in assets the fund’s hardly tiny, but it’s just a fraction of the size of other topnotch foreign large-blend funds, such as American Funds EuroPacific Growth and Julius Baer International Equity. The fund is nimble, and capacity concerns are nowhere on its horizon. We also like the investment culture at Manning & Napier. It is employee-owned, and its key investment professionals are principals in the firm. Turnover is practically nonexistent among the investment professionals. This winner deserves more attention.

This fund has one of the best risk/reward profiles in the foreign large-blend category. It has returned 12.4% annually over the past decade, crushing the MSCI EAFE Index and nearly all of its rivals. The fund has low volatility and has been a great bear-market performer. It posted a tiny cumulative loss between 2000 and 2002, easily outperforming its average peer and the benchmark, which both shed more than 40% of their value in the same period. Strong stock-picking and a prudent approach key the fund’s success. Like all Manning & Napier funds, this one is team-managed by the firm’s senior research group, industry veterans with an average of 15-years’ experience. They leverage the firm’s 27 equity analysts, who are aligned globally by industry with an all-cap purview. They use a variety of bottom-up analytics to look at growth, cyclical, and deep-value plays.

Senior Product Manager Jeannie Bernier Q: I’m worried about the sale of Neuberger & Berman. Is it likely that any Neuberger & Berman managers will leave? A: After the original plan of a purchase by third parties, the deal was restructured in a way that should please most managers, but there’s certainly no guarantee. A group of senior executives and portfolio managers will acquire a majority interest in the firm, with the deal expected to close in early 2009. Because managers now own the firm, they ought to stick around. In fact, the CEO of Neuberger is leaving for Legg Mason. Q: Fidelity Contrafund FCNTX and Low-Priced Stock FLPSX have reopened. Are they buys? Publisher Maureen Dahlen Chief of Securities Analysis Haywood Kelly A: Although both funds still suffer from asset bloat, they are among the best in Fidelity’s domestic-stock lineup. I’d rather have its two best managers with big asset bases than middling managers with smaller asset bases. Even with a smaller asset base, Fidelity’s managers are still hemmed in by moves of their bigger brethren. Moreover, the middle tier of Fidelity’s stock funds has done rather poorly. If you’re not confined to Fidelity funds, though, there are plenty of strong options as you can see from our picks list in the data pages. œ President, Securities Research Catherine Gillis Odelbo © 2009 Morningstar, Inc.
