R1_0908.qxp 9/4/08 5:17 PM Page 1 FundInvestor September 2008 Volume Number 17 1 Research and recommendations for the serious fund investor Clip and Save: 20 Common Investing Mistakes I talk with investors almost every day, and over time the same themes emerge. Although investors cover the gamut of sophistication levels, I hear the same mistakes over and over again. So, in order to help save you from repeating the same mistakes and losing a lot of money to learn the lessons, I’ve jotted down 20 of the most common investing mistakes. Most come down to two basic types of errors. One error is to let emotions get the better of you. I’m amazed at the logical reasons people build to justify making the investments that make them feel better even if in the long-run they’ll be poorer for having done it. The second error is to not build a plan and think things through. As one planner told me, “People don’t know what they bought or why they bought it.” Mistake 1 | Reacting to short-term returns. Every day people go to their online 401(k) accounts and sell the fund with the worst one-year returns and buy the one with the best one-year returns. It makes them feel better, and they will tell you that new fund is ahead of the curve and run by a smart manager and the old one has lost its touch. What they won’t say is that they are buying high and selling low. Nor will they say that short-term returns are just noise. As I pointed out in the July issue, among Morningstar 500 funds, you are better off buying funds with lagging short-term performance than those with top-quartile returns. Mistake 2 | Basing sell decision on cost basis. You bought fund A at $10 and now its NAV is at $5 and fund B at $10 and now it’s at $20. Which should you hold, and which should you sell? I have no idea. The amount you paid is relevant only to tax planning. What matters is which will have better returns over your investment horizon. If the answer is fund B, then sell fund A (you’ll have a tax benefit if it’s in a taxable account) and put the proceeds in fund B. The problem is that people have an emotional attachment to the price. Some are afraid to book losses, and others are too anxious to sell a winner for fear that they’ll miss out on gains. What matters is whether the funds have strong fundamentals. Mistake 3 | Selling after the market falls. The shortterm direction of the stock market is unpredictable; yet selling in reaction to market moves implies that you can predict short-term moves. What we fail to account for is that the markets price in the same news that we are hearing—often before we hear it. The markets are not perfectly efficient from minute to minute but they quickly reflect a best guess based on new information. Fear is one of the greatest enemies of successful investing. When you’re worried about your money, you want to make it safe. However, you risk missing out on the next rally, and you might not even keep pace with inflation. From a long-term perspective, cash is very risky and stocks are low-risk. Put another way, this is another example of selling low and buying high. Savvy investors get excited when the market is oversold; you should, too. Mistake 4 | Accumulating too many niche funds. We get mailings all the time telling us about hot new investments. Last year, commodity funds and BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) funds were the rage. Next year it will be something else. These specialist funds are exciting and fun to buy but they will mess up your portfolio if you let them. Most niche Continued on Page 2 Russel Kinnel, Director of Fund Research and Editor Fund Analyst Picks 4 T.

Yet you can get the same exposure to sectors and regions through more-diversified funds. Niche funds drive up your costs, add extra volatility, and make managing your portfolio more difficult. vanilla stocks and bonds—with perhaps a dash of a “diversifier” such as commodities or real estate—is more than adequate to help us reach our goals. That’s also the kind of portfolio that you can easily manage yourself. By building a sturdy, streamlined portfolio, you’ll have fewer moving parts to monitor. Mistake 5 | Failing to build an overall plan. This is a biggie. Spend a little time to spell out your goals, how you’ll meet them, and the role of each investment. This is an enormous help in figuring out how to get to your goals and how to adapt along the way. Make a little plan, and your day-to-day investment decisions will become easier and less stressful. Mistake 9 | Not understanding the risks. Narrowly focusing on recent returns can blind investors to risks. If a fund has a long track record, you can easily get a handle on risk by looking at annual returns. In a bad year, the stock market can lose 30%. In a bad three-year period, it can lose 60%. It’s reasonable to assume that nearly any stock fund can do at least that badly. This is why stocks are for 10- or 20-year time horizons or longer. If you know that going in, you stand a much better chance of earning a healthy return. Most bond funds can lose 5% or 10% in a year. If they have long maturity or own mostly junk-quality bonds, you can double those losses or more. Mistake 6 | Failing to write down your reasons for buying and selling. Once you’ve got your plan, spell out why you own each investment and what would lead you to sell. For example, you could say that you own Fairholme FAIRX as a long-term 20-year investment for its manager and its low costs. You’d sell if the manager left, costs were raised, or asset bloat forced a change in strategy. When you have your doubts about the fund, you can turn to that document in four years when you may well have forgotten what the draw was in the first place. Mistake 7 | Ignoring costs. Expense ratios matter across the board. Most of the best managers work for low-cost funds. So, don’t listen to the siren song of a high-cost mutual fund or hedge fund. Results won’t live up to expectations. Expense ratios are the best predictor of future performance. Mistake 8 | Making things needlessly complex. This one comes courtesy of Christine Benz, editor of Morningstar PersonalFinance: Wall Street works overtime to sell the message that investing is complicated, messy stuff that you couldn’t possibly undertake on your own. Is it any wonder that so many investors are paralyzed with fear and indecision? True enough, there are a handful of investors who have delivered tremendous returns by using swashbuckling investment strategies and zooming in and out of arcane investments. For the rest of us mortals, though, buying and holding a portfolio composed of plain- Mistake 10 | Not diversifying properly. This year’s harsh market has punished financials the most while energy has done best. Large growth got crushed in 2000–02, and small-value stocks as well as bonds held up like champs. Every down period is different, so be sure to diversify between stocks and bonds, between foreign and domestic, and among sectors. The key to that is to have meaningful exposure to a lot of areas and to build up your core. Mistake 11 | Not saving enough. I’d encourage you to preach the benefits of early saving to relatives and friends in their 20s or 30s. If they make regular contributions to their 401(k) and IRA accounts, reaching their goals will be quite manageable. If they don’t, they better make a killing or they’ll be behind the 8 ball. Mistake 12 | Failing to rebalance. My 401(k) plan has a tool that automatically rebalances my investments for me. When the markets really move, your portfolio can go off-kilter and mess up your nicely laid plan. Rebalance yearly so that you’ll be buying low and selling high. Mistake 13 | Failing to factor taxes into portfolio decisions. Like expenses, taxes play a huge role in R1_0908.qxp 9/4/08 5:17 PM Page 3 Morningstar FundInvestor your long-term success, but they’re no fun. So, a lot of people ignore them in the hopes that their funds will make such big returns that taxes won’t matter. There’s a better way to think about it. Simply putting lessefficient investments in tax-sheltered accounts and more-efficient ones in taxable accounts will pay off in a big way. In addition, when you’re shopping for a new fund for a taxable account be sure to look for those that should be efficient, such as tax-managed funds, index funds, low-turnover actively managed funds, and, of course, municipal-bond funds. Mistake 14 | Not building up a sufficient money market position. Christine Benz recommends that you have six to 12 months’ worth of living expenses in a money market account. As the messes in short-term bond funds and auction-rate securities show, there’s no substitute for money market funds. This emergency stash is vital in case you lose your job or have another emergency, such as unexpected home repairs. In addition, it will make market downturns less stressful. Mistake 15 | Ignoring costs in money market funds. Many fund companies and brokerages charge high expenses on money market funds because investors don’t pay attention. So, go with Vanguard or Fidelity or someone else who charges less than 40 basis points to manage your cash. Mistake 16 | Failing to look at the big picture across accounts. Roger Ibbotson argues: Investors tend to view each investment and each account—401(k), IRA, college-savings account, etc.—in isolation rather than in aggregate. Trying to make every investment a winner can throw off the overarching asset allocation. It can also lead an investor to chase hot stocks, trade excessively, and sell at the wrong time. If all of an investor’s accounts and individual investments are up at the same time, they should be alarmed rather than proud. It’s a sign that they may be underdiversified and taking on too much risk. Mistake 17 | Misreading your own abilities. People who treat gambling addicts say that it’s the big winning bet that hooks gamblers. They get high and want to repeat that high. Fund investors can be a little like that. They remember that one time they accurately September 2008 3 called the direction of the market or picked a sector fund and forget all the times their calls were off. Go back over your past investments and see what you do well and figure out a solution to the areas where you didn’t do well. Maybe your individual stock picks aren’t that great overseas, so you should buy a foreign fund. Maybe your bond fund blew up, so you should change the way you pick bond funds and tone down the risk. Mistake 18 | Focusing on the fund instead of the manager. I exchanged e-mails with a reader recently who didn’t understand why Clipper was a pick despite its bad five-year returns. I explained that the current managers have been there for only two years and their long-term record is outstanding. The fact that previous managers did well or poorly is rarely relevant unless it reflects institutional strength or weakness. Fidelity Independence has a great record, but so what? The current manager started in 2007. Mistake 19 | Ignoring the fund company behind the fund. You may like a fund, but if the fund company has mostly lousy investors, a bad record of sticking it to fundholders, or both, you may pay the price in the end. Over a long time horizon bad things happen to good funds at bad fund companies. Hancock Regional Bank was once a diamond among dross, but the parent company pushed it down the tubes. John Hancock’s penny-pinching deprived the fund of sufficient support. Mistake 20 | Worrying about daily ups and downs. Don’t get stressed watching business TV or tracking the market online. It’s exciting and often informative but not always helpful for long-term investors. Reporting on the markets whether in print or on TV requires putting a lot of experts on to make predictions. If they were honest and said they didn’t know what would happen the next week but that you should buy and hold, no one would watch. All those ups and downs have no bearing on your long-term goals. Warren Buffett advocates buying stocks that you feel so strongly about you wouldn’t care if the stock market took a two-year holiday. The same goes for funds. Buy them and tune out the noise. œ Contact Russel Kinnel at russel_kinnel@morningstar.com FAP1_0908.qxp 9/4/08 5:19 PM Page 4 4 T.

Fund Analyst Pick | Bill Rocco Costs This fund’s 1.21% expense ratio ranks in the secondcheapest quintile for no-load emerging-markets funds. What is an Analyst Pick? The Morningstar FundInvestor 500 includes 150 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. ◊ This fund makes it easy to invest in emerging markets. Management This fund boasts one of the strongest emerging-markets teams around. Lead manager Chris Alderson has been at the helm of this successful fund the mid-1990s e; he posted good results during the seven years he was in charge of T. Rowe Emerging Europe & Mediterranean TREMX; and he has gotten off to a nice start as the skipper of T. Rowe Price Africa & Middle East TRAMX. Thus, he has a longer, broader, and better resume than most of his rivals. Meanwhile, Alderson works with an exceptional crew. He has three comanagers, and each has considerable regional expertise and management experience. Frances Dydasco runs Fund Analyst Pick T. Rowe Price New Asia PRASX, in fact, while Gonzalo Pangaro oversees Fund Analyst Pick T. Rowe Price Latin America PRLAX. And the managers are supported by 17 emerging-markets sector specialists. Strategy Alderson uses the same moderate-growth strategy here as he does at T. Rowe Price Africa & Middle East and as Dydasco and Pangaro do on their own regional emerging-markets offerings. Thus, Alderson favors companies that enjoy strong earnings growth r and leadership positions, but he pays ample attention to valuations. And as this fund’s modest annual turnover rate indicates, he moves at a measured pace. The end result is a portfolio that definitely has a growth bias but isn’t extremely bold. This fund tends to have higher growth rates than the diversified emergingmarkets norms, but its forward-looking valuations t tend to be reasonably close to the category averages. While Alderson will certainly load up on names from individual countries or industries where he finds lots of stocks that meet his standards, he normally Performance Alderson has demonstrated a knack for avoiding big losses as well as an ability to deliver good returns. True, this fund is mired in its category’s cellar thus far in tough 2008, stung by its relatively sizable stakes in the especially hard-hit India and China markets and a variety of individual picks from other markets. But it has never finished a calendar year in its category’s worst quartile since opening in 1995. And it has finished in its group’s best quartile frequently, as Alderson has executed his moderate-growth strategy skillfully in tough times as well as good ones. As a result, the fund boasts strong long-term returns. u Stewardship T. Rowe Price looks good from a stewardship perspective. For starters, it has a terrific corporate culture and excels at attracting and retaining top talent. What’s more, the firm hasn’t had any regulatory problems, its fund board is good, and its compensation structure for fund managers has the right incentives. All that, plus the fact that Alderson has between $100,000 and $500,000 invested in this specialized fund and more than $1 million invested across the family lineup, means that investors can be confident their interests are being served here. Conclusion This fund is a great option for investors who are seeking dedicated emerging-markets exposure. But it, like all emerging-markets funds, is prone to sharp sell-offs, and this year’s big decline certainly won’t be its last one. And it and its peers are unlikely to reproduce the huge gains they posted between early 2003 and late 2007 any time soon. Thus, interested investors should be sure they have long time horizons and realistic expectations. œ Contact Bill Rocco at bill.rocco@morningstar.com MFB1_0908.qxp 9/4/08 8:14 AM Page 5 Morningstar FundInvestor T.

Thus, the fund boasts superior three-year, five-year, 10-year, and since-inception gains. This fund has a strong management team and an attractive strategy to go along with its long-term success. Alderson has been in charge of this fund since it opened, so he’s more seasoned than most of his rivals. He works with three talented comanagers who have had significant success running regional funds. And the managers are supported by 17 analysts. The team follows a moderate-growth strategy that is inherently sound and that has produced good long-term results on other T. Rowe Price emerging-markets offerings. This fund remains a terrific emerging-markets vehicle.

There’s no denying that this fund has had a tough go of it this year. It has been rough sailing for all diversified emerging-markets funds: China and India have plummeted; most of the other big emerging markets—except for Brazil, Russia, and Mexico—have dropped significantly; and many of the smaller ones have struggled. This fund has lost more than 75% of its peers for the year to date, partly because manager Chris Alderson didn’t reduce its oversized India stake early or aggressively enough and partly because it has relatively limited exposure to energy and other commodity stocks that have thrived. But such poor results are definitely an anomaly here. This fund, in fact, has avoided the bottom quartile of its category in every calendar year since it opened in 1995. And it has placed among its group’s top quartile in several calendar years, including 2007 when Alderson made good picks in Share change since 03-08 Total Stocks:137 Sector Cash Stocks 3.6 96.0 Foreign (% of Stock) Bonds Other % Stock 0.0 Country Exposure 18 Taiwan 9 0.4 Brazil Russia 11 South Korea 8 98.8 China 10 Mutual Funds t r FAP2_0908.qxp 9/4/08 5:20 PM Page 6 6 Allianz RCM Technology Fund Analyst Pick | Hilary Fazzone 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. ◊ This fund’s seasoned managers have proved their ability to maneuver within the often unruly technology sector. Management This fund boasts some of the longest-tenured managers in the technology category. Walter Price and Huachen Chen have run this fund together since its late-1995 inception e, and their time spent working together on the technology sector at RCM dates back to the mid80s. Price and Chen have followed tech stocks through several market cycles and have seen how they behave in a variety of market conditions. As a result, they’re better equipped than most to navigate this fast-paced sector. annual turnover, which is low compared with its historic levels, means that the typical stock stays in the portfolio for less than six months. Price and Chen take steps to offset this companyspecific risk. In 2006, they began using options to hedge their bets and reduce volatility, and they’re willing to hold cash when opportunities are hard to come by. As a result, the fund’s long-term volatility u (as measured by 10-year standard deviation) is on par with that of its typical tech category peer. Costs This fund’s institutional shares charge a cheap 1.26%, but you need a $100,000 minimum investment and must pay a $75 fee at Fidelity. Or for a $5,000 minimum investment and no fee, you can buy the D shares DGTNX which have a 1.60% expense ratio. Strategy The managers look across the globe to unearth emerging, durable trends within the tech sector and attempt to identify the leading companies within those themes. For example, solar cell manufacturer r First Solar FSLR is currently a top holding because the managers believe its global plant growth puts it at the forefront of the alternative energy movement. Performance The fund’s recent performance demonstrates its i tendency to outperform its peers considerably when tech stocks are doing well and lag them marginally when tech stocks are doing poorly. The tech category’s 16% gain in 2007 and this fund’s 29% gain bested 94% of its peers’ last year. The category has seen a performance reversal in 2008, however, and this fund’s loss is about 5 percentage points greater than the average tech fund’s 16% drop through August 2008. Its 10-year annualized return through August 2008 trumps that of 93% of its rivals. Price and Chen’s picks fall into three camps. The bulk of assets are devoted to up-and-coming stocks, or those that the managers feel have competitive advantages over their peers in high-growth industries. The remaining assets are divided between core bluechip tech stocks, such as Intel INTC or Cisco CSCO, and value plays, such as McAffee MFE, whose new management and low stock price make it a prime candidate for takeover. Stewardship Both Price and Chen have more than $1,000,000 invested in the fund, which serves to align their own interests with those of shareholders. On the negative side, we were disappointed when the fund’s board failed to pass meaningful economies of scale down to shareholders by lowering the expense ratio when another fund merged into this one and doubled its asset base several years ago. Price and Chen are willing to make big bets on their favorite stocks. In fact, although the fund holds roughly 70 stocks, over 50% of its assets are currently devoted to the top 10 holdings. Nor do they have qualms about trading frequently: The fund’s 209% t Conclusion Owing to topnotch managers running a proven strategy with skin in the game, Allianz RCM Technology is everything you’d want from a tech fund. œ Contact Hilary Fazzone at hilary_fazzone@morningstar.com MFB2_0908.qxp 9/4/08 12:50 PM Page 7 Morningstar FundInvestor Allianz RCM Tech Ins Ticker DRGTX Analyst Pick Governance and Management Load None NAV $42.13 Yield 0.0% September 2008 Total Assets $1,227 mil Mstar Category Specialty-Technology Investment Style Equity Stock % Historical Profile Return High Risk Above Avg Rating Above Avg Stewardship Grade: Portfolio Manager(s) 82% 95% 88% 96% 96% 97% 92% 83% 69% Manager Change Partial Manager Change 71.6 50.6 Huachen Chen and Walter Price are seasoned managers who have been running institutional tech money together for more than 10 years.

To offset this risk, Price and Chen use defensive measures. For example, in 2006 they began using options to hedge their bets and reduce volatility, and they’ve long been willing to hold cash when opportunities are scant. Currently, more than 25% of the portfolio is in cash because the managers believe that the fund’s high-growth stocks may not perform well during a period when investors are concerned about slowing economic growth. Such a bold strategy might cause concern if it weren't for Price and Chen’s level of experience. Having run the fund since its 1995 inception, they are among the longest-tenured managers in the category. Over their tenure, the fund's annualized gain is more than double that of the average tech fund. Investors looking for technology exposure would be hard-pressed to do better than this.

This fund’s success doesn’t hinge on management’s ability to ride the coattails of the latest go-go technology stock. Rather, it must identify industry-leading companies within fast-growing subsets of the sector. Managers Walter Price and Huachen Chen scour the globe for emerging, durable trends and try to find companies that are better than the competition in translating these trends into growth. For example, Price and Chen believe that top holding Salesforce.com is leading the software-as-a-service movement. Instead of providing static applications, users can customize this company’s sales-management software. Price and Chen’s approach packs plenty of punch. They load up on their favorite stocks (over half the fund’s assets are devoted to its top 10 holdings), and they trade stocks more than their typical tech-fund peer.

Morningstar Research | Greg Carlson The past 10 years have seen enormous growth in assets at American Funds. In general, performance has remained strong, but is there greater overlap? If you plan to own more than one American fund, it’s a good thing to know how similar portfolios and returns are so that you can build a sound portfolio. I examined the correlation of returns between two investments, which is measured using a figure known as R-squared. I also compared those changes in correlation to changes for broad Morningstar fund categories. Finally, I looked at the rise in foreign stakes at some of American’s domestic-equity funds and how that has affected the way that they act relative to the firm’s foreign- and world-stock funds. More of the Same First, let’s tackle holdings overlap. I examined the overlap between each of American’s three largevalue funds (American Mutual AMRMX, Investment Company of America AIVSX, and Washington Mutual AWSHX) and each of its large-growth funds (Amcap AMCPX, Growth Fund of America AGTHX, and New Economy ANEFX) as of December 1997 and December 2007. In all but one case, overlap between each of American’s large-value and large-growth funds increased by a double-digit percentage of assets (an average of 20% of assets). The biggest increase was between Washington Mutual and Growth Fund of America, from 3% of assets to 31%. Given the difference between the two funds’ objectives—Washington Mutual focuses on companies that pay a healthy dividend, while Growth Fund favors firms that churn out steady earnings growth or that are in the midst of a turnaround—that increase in overlap is a surprise. There are two explanations for the two funds’ rising overlap, as well as the generally increasing overlap between American’s large-value and large-growth funds. First, valuation disparities between value and growth stocks have shrunk. Thus, there are fewer definitive bargains out there, so funds with different objectives—supported, to some degree, by the same analyst staff—are more likely to find the same stocks attractive. Another factor to consider is the influx of managers at these funds. Almost all of American’s funds in these categories (as well as across the shop’s lineup) have more portfolio managers at the helm than they did 10 years ago because of the dramatic increase in assets at most of the funds. Thus, nearly every fund owns a greater number of stocks. Washington Mutual is an exception to this trend: It’s currently run by seven managers, the same number it had a decade ago, and it owns slightly fewer stocks than before despite a far larger asset base. Growth Fund of America now has 11 managers (compared with six in 1997) and holds 280 stocks— double the number that it held a decade ago. Thus, the overlap between these two funds is partially driven by Growth Fund’s rapidly expanding asset base (close to $200 billion at 2007’s end). However, its managers have also often found more compelling buys in traditional value sectors such as energy. Returns Have Recently Converged This increased overlap appears to have had an effect on the correlation between the funds’ returns. I compared the correlations of the three-year returns of the three large-value and large-growth funds with each other for the periods ended December 1997 and December 2007. Although most of the American Funds didn’t see the correlation between their returns increase significantly over this period, they were more closely correlated over the past three years than were their typical large-value and large-growth rivals. One of American’s funds that bucks this trend is Washington Mutual—its correlations with each of American’s large-growth funds is below average relative to the correlations of the broader categories. That distinctiveness is another reason why this Fund Analyst Pick is my favorite of the shop’s largevalue mutual funds. R2_0908.qxp 9/4/08 5:21 PM Page 9 Morningstar FundInvestor AmCap 4.42 | December 1997 24.42 | December 2007 bigger stakes in foreign stocks at 2007’s end than they did in December 1997. For example, New Economy’s non-U.S. weighting has jumped from 23% of assets to 35%, and its prospectus language has been amended to allow for this increase. Meanwhile, the other four funds—Amcap, American Mutual, Investment Company of America, and Washington Mutual— have seen little change to their foreign weightings. Globe-Trotting’s Pluses and Minuses During this 10-year period, American has allowed its more-opportunistic funds freer rein to buy into overseas markets. Fundamental Investors ANCFX, Growth Fund of America, and New Economy all had much While each of American’s seven domestic-stock funds boasts solid long-term records, the five-year relative returns of the adventurous funds beat those of each of the four more-staid funds, and their 10-year relative returns beat those of three of the four U.S.-heavy funds. It should come as no surprise that the returns of the three opportunistic funds correlate more strongly with those of American’s world-stock and foreignstock funds for the three years ended December 2007 than they did for the three years ended December 1997. On average, however, these correlations didn’t increase to a greater degree than did the returns of the typical domestic large-cap fund to the returns of the typical world-stock or foreign large-cap fund. Investment Co. of America vs: AmCap 24.21 | December 1997 32.20 | December 2007 Washington Mutual vs: AmCap 6.54 | December 1997 26.32 | December 2007 Growth Fund of America 2.86 | December 1997 Growth Fund of America 22.46 | December 1997 Growth Fund of America 3.23 | December 1997 26.74 | December 2007 41.61 | December 2007 30.86 | December 2007 New Economy 2.94 | December 1997 14.58 | December 2007 9 As for Growth Fund of America, the changes in its size and its managers’ preferences are again the main factors behind its recently higher return correlations. While the fund’s recently higher R-squareds with its large-value siblings may not continue in the future, the fund’s more-sprawling portfolio means it’s likely to continue to significantly overlap with those funds— which can, in turn, lead to higher correlations. Value and Growth Converging American Mutual vs: September 2008 New Economy 19.83 | December 1997 23.44 | December 2007 New Economy 4.35 | December 1997 16.73 | December 2007 Meanwhile, each of American’s domestic-stock funds has seen its returns correlate much more highly with those of Smallcap World SMCWX over the past three years than from 1995–97. I’d chalk that up to the latter fund’s bigger stake in mid-cap and large-cap firms these days. The reasons are that Smallcap World’s large asset base has forced it to buy more large caps and more attractive valuations of bigger companies have drawn managers’ attention. So, the U.S.-international pairings to avoid are Growth Fund of America and New Perspective ANWPX, Fundamental Investors with New Perspective and Capital World Growth & Income CWGIX. Look for the more distinctive American funds because they ought to prove more beneficial to the riskadjusted returns of their portfolios. And those funds that are most vulnerable to asset bloat, and thus ought to be closed—Growth Fund of America and Smallcap World—have had the most difficulty remaining distinctive. œ Contact Greg Carlson at greg_carlson@morningstar.com CN RF_0908.qxp 9/5/08 9:40 AM Page 10 10 Don’t Believe the Hype funds.) The underlying funds from GMO loaded up on asset-backeds to the tune of 23%. As a result, returns are bottom-quartile 8.64% annualized for the trailing five years, and the average investor only earned 5.6% because most got in just as the fund was slumping. The Contrarian | Russel Kinnel Our Contrarian Approach I go against the grain to find overlooked funds that may be ready to rally. In general, there is a sort of wisdom to the crowds. Most big funds are pretty good because you have to be pretty good to draw a lot of money and grow that money. However, the crowds aren’t Einstein either. I can think of a couple of billion-dollar dogs. To get a billion-dollar dog, you need hot performance or a hot spot of the market and an army of wholesalers taking brokers to ballgames so that they’ll put their clients in said hot fund. Consider Evergreen Asset Allocation EAAFX. Born GMO Global Balanced Asset Allocation, the fund built up a strong record thanks to savvy asset calls, low costs, and some successful quantitative programs for selecting stocks. In 2002, the fund had 5 stars, and Evergreen swooped in and paid GMO a fee to make it an Evergreen fund—but run by GMO just as before. Although Evergreen didn’t have anything to do with the management of the fund, it added 55 basis points in management fees and 12b-1 fees to expenses so that the fund’s expense ratio advantage turned into a handicap. In fact, the fund’s C shares were the hottestselling share class, and they cost 130 basis points more than the original share class. Then they sold the heck out of it. In just a few years a $100 million fund became an $11 billion fund. Just as money was coming in, performance tailed off. The quantitative models didn’t work as well, and, more recently, a big bet on asset-backed securities and weak stock selection has hurt performance. (In fact, Vanguard recently fired GMO from two of its stock Their strategy is to wait for the asset-backed securities to mature and reinvest the money in Treasuries. That may work, but with Treasuries producing low yields, it’s not a promising development for the fund. It makes me wonder: If the fund were run by a third party not tied to GMO, would they dump the assetbacked heavy funds? Either way, I’d avoid the fund. Meanwhile, a new fund from a venerable name is having a tough go of it. BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) have been trendy. Although they had little to do with each other, all four were red-hot markets, and BRICs was a catchy acronym with which to market them. Launched in the middle of 2006, Templeton BRIC TABRX quickly topped $1 billion in assets. Besides the trendiness and lack of justification for gluing four markets together, there are other problems with the fund. At 2.09%, it costs way, way too much. The fund’s portfolio and returns actually match those of BRIC ETFs pretty closely, and those ETFs charge about one third the price. Templeton hasn’t been a strong performer of late, so it’s tough to see why you should buy this fund over the cheaper BRIC ETFs. Want some better ideas? For world-allocation, consider American Funds Capital Income Builder CAIBX, which has low costs and experienced managers. For emerging markets, I like T. Rowe Price Emerging Markets Stock PRMSX, which charges 89 basis points less than Templeton BRIC. These funds have low costs, low hype, and high-quality management. œ Contact Russel Kinnel at russel_kinnel@morningstar.com Contrarian Picks at a Glance Name Manager Name Prospectus Net Expense Ratio Evergreen Asset Allocation A Ben Inker Mark Mobius et al 1.27 2.09 Templeton BRIC A Data through Aug. 31, 2008.

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. The energy sector has had a long run, but it might be a little long in the tooth. The collision of low supply and spiking emerging-markets demand has made it one of the top-performing sleeves of the market for the past several years. Any fund with either the foresight or the mandate to invest in the sector has reaped market-topping gains. In five of the last eight years, for example, natural-resources funds have landed in the top three of their diversified-fund and specialty-fund category peers. The question now is: Is it over? In July and August, oil and other commodities sold in response to slackening demand. Some managers had already started paring back. Bob Baker and team at Van Kampen Comstock ACSTX sold the fund’s last energy stock in 2007 and have resolutely said that the sector is extremely overvalued ever since. Meanwhile, Bruce Berkowitz and company at Fairholme FAIRX sliced that fund’s outsized stake in the sector early this summer, citing increased commodity prices, which would slow demand and increase supply. A bout of volatility and a handful of good managers taking money off the table aren’t reasons on their own to say that the rally is over: Stocks often fluctuate for reasons other than fundamental concerns, and plenty of talented managers claim that the sector has more room to climb. They do serve as reminders that the sector doesn’t just go up, however. If the party is over, here are a few funds that will have a hangover. Fidelity Independence FDFFX This large-growth fund’s 37% energy stake stems from manager Bob Bertelson’s belief that constrained supplies and demand from emerging markets will continue to push energy prices higher. The energy play isn’t a new bet for Bertelson, who has steadily increased the fund’s weighting in the sector since his late-2006 arrival, but he isn’t early to the game, September 2008 11 either, having still added to the fund’s exposure there in recent months. Add the fund’s slug of energy stocks to its 42% industrial-materials stake, and this fund has significant commodity price risk. At his previous charge, Fidelity Aggressive Growth FDEGX, Bertelson posted poor relative and absolute returns during his 2000–02 tenure. Legg Mason Partners Aggressive Growth SHRAX Richie Freeman has managed the large-growth fund since its 1983 inception and has made plenty of good calls over the years. Freeman sticks with fastgrowing stocks for the long haul, which tends to prevent the fund from chasing current trends. Nevertheless, with nearly 30% of the fund’s assets in energy—half of which he added since the start of 2007—Freeman is in the thick of the market’s current craze. It has cost the fund recently and will certainly be a thorn in its side if the energy sector continues to slow. A limited stake in industrial-materials stocks, which are also linked to commodities, eases some of our concern, however. Avoiding most of that sector limits the damage from commodity prices. FPA Capital FPPTX We’re big fans of manager Bob Rodriguez, who has made a number of savvy calls here over the years. However, we’d be remiss not to point out that the closed fund’s mostly cash and energy portfolio (it has 41% of its assets in cash and 30% of its assets in energy stocks) carries its own set of risks. If the energy bet goes against the fund, its cash stake will cushion its losses. However, if the rest of the market rallies, possibly due to a significant energy correction, the fund’s cash stake will hold it back and its energy stake will drag it down. œ Contact Marta Norton at marta.norton@morningstar.com News_0908.qxp 9/4/08 5:23 PM Page 12 12 Stocks Move Higher as Oil Eases Benchmark Performance Market Overview | Russel Kinnel Total Return % through 08-31-08 1Mo YTD Large Growth Large Blend Large Value 0.4 0.9 1.3 -12.1 -11.7 -12.9 3.6 3.3 2.3 5.8 6.5 6.9 3.7 4.1 5.6 Mid-Cap Growth Mid-Cap Blend Mid-Cap Value 0.4 1.9 2.4 -11.5 -8.0 -7.7 5.1 4.0 3.5 8.3 9.1 9.3 8.0 9.4 9.8 Small Growth Small Blend Small Value 2.1 2.8 3.5 -10.6 -5.4 -3.1 3.1 3.1 2.3 7.1 9.1 9.2 9.5 10.8 11.3 Conservative Allocation Moderate Allocation 0.2 0.3 -4.7 -8.2 2.9 3.4 4.3 6.0 4.3 4.9 Specialty-Precious Metals -11.8 Specialty-Natural Resources -4.0 Specialty-Technology 1.7 Specialty-Utilities -1.8 Specialty-Health 0.5 Specialty-Financials 0.2 Specialty-Real Estate 2.0 Specialty-Communications 0.6 Global Real Estate -3.3 -15.8 -3.2 -13.8 -12.3 -2.5 -20.2 -4.1 -18.7 -17.5 22.1 14.9 4.4 9.1 4.5 -3.9 4.2 3.7 3.5 16.1 24.4 5.2 15.8 7.7 2.6 12.9 10.0 13.4 19.4 18.9 5.3 7.5 10.7 5.7 12.7 3.0 12.5 S&P 500 S&P MidCap 400 Russell 2000 1.5 1.7 3.6 -11.4 -4.1 -2.6 3.7 6.0 4.8 6.9 10.8 9.6 4.7 12.6 9.5 Diversified Asia/Pac.

Hopes that falling oil prices would boost the economy and lead to rising interest rates helped stocks and the dollar alike. Small-value funds were the stars, with gains of about 3.5% on average. Robeco Boston Partners Small Cap Value II BPSCX and Royce Special Equity RYSEX led the way with gains of about 6%. Elsewhere, Vanguard Selected Value VASVX and Aston/Tamro Small Cap ATASX posted decent gains as well. We also saw strength at some of the year’s hardest-hit funds, with Ariel ARGFX and Baron Fifth Avenue Growth BFTHX posting gains of more than 4%. Most remarkable, though, was Fairholme Fund FAIRX, where manager Bruce Berkowitz appears to have timed the energy market perfectly. At our conference in late June, Berkowitz said he was starting to sell his energy companies, and that was right about the peak of the market. Thus, the fund gained 5% in August, whereas Ken Heebner’s CGM Focus CGMFX lost 6% because Heebner remained an energy bull. Most bond funds were flat for the month, but foreign bond funds were hurt by the rising dollar in August. The muni market, though, gained a little over 1%. œ A N N U A L I Z E D 3Yr 5Yr 10Yr News_0908.qxp 9/4/08 5:23 PM Page 13 Morningstar FundInvestor Three Funds Hold Up Well in Sell-Off Leaders & Laggards | Wenli Tan 3 Ten Best-Performing Funds Fund Name YTD Cat Rank % FMI Large Cap FPA Capital FPA Crescent Fairholme Fidelity Sh-Int Muni Inc Fidelity Strategic RRet Matthews Asia Pac Eq Inc Oakmark Equity & Inc I Sound Shore Vanguard Prec Mtls Mining 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 33 Ten Worst-Performing Funds Fund Name YTD Cat Rank % 100 Fidelity Pacific Basin Legg Mason Value Prim 99 Longleaf Partners Sm-Cap 99 Bjurman, Barry MicroCp Gr 98 Janus Venture 98 Masters' Sel Focused Opp 98 Masters' Select Value 98 98 Schneider Small Cap Val Third Avenue RealEst Val 98 Thompson Plumb Growth 98 Leaders Royce Value RYVFX This fund’s ability to weather the storm is nearly unrivaled in the small-blend category. While its typical peer has lost 5.6% for the year to date through Aug. 31, the fund has gained 5.5%. Similar to other Royce teams, this fund’s managers, Whitney George and Jay Kaplan, avoid firms with shaky finances—a bias that has helped the fund sidestep a lot of the problems in today’s financial markets. Energy picks, such as Oil States International OIS and Unit Corporation UNT, have fueled recent gains. But there’s no performance-chasing here. The team got into the energy sector earlier than a lot of small-cap investors and hung on through the boom and bust that occurred from 2003 to 2006. Shareholders should tame their expectations, though. If oil prices continue to fall, the fund—with its above-average 20% energy stake— will suffer. Still, we like its long-term prospects. T. Rowe Price Tax-Free Short-Intermediate PRFSX Thanks to manager Charlie Hill’s shrewd issue selection, this fund has gained 3.0%, besting roughly 90% of its muni-national short-term category peers. Hill shied away from insured municipal bonds, which paid off as subprime-mortgage woes weighed on the primary muni insurance providers. The manager has also taken advantage of the market’s recent volatility by scooping up A rated bonds, which have suffered along with the market’s riskier fare. With a proven manager at the helm and a built-in cost advantage (at 0.51%, the fund ranks cheap among its noload peers), we think this fund’s future shines bright. Lazard Emerging Markets Equity LZEMX This fund’s 11.1% loss this year sounds awful, but it still beats all of its peers in the often-volatile diversified emerging-markets category. Manager James Donald’s willingness to say no to hot-performing areas has helped cushion the fall. Because he has September 2008 13 been skeptical of the valuations and profitability of Chinese companies, he has kept a minimal stake in China. That avoidance has paid off as Chinese stocks tumbled in August. The fund will close to new investors Sept 30. Laggards Clipper CFIMX It’s easy to see why this fund, which has lost 24.3% for the year to date, lags nearly all of its large-blend peers. Its short roster of stocks includes American International Group AIG, Merrill Lynch MER, UnitedHealth Group UNH, and News Corp. NWS.A, all of which have sustained losses in excess of 30%. We don’t think the fund’s recent struggles reveal any flaws in its process, though. Managers Chris Davis and Ken Feinberg still look for and bet on well-managed companies with defensible market positions and earning streams that look undervalued. William Blair International Growth WBIGX As investors’ appetite for risk dramatically decreased amid today’s market turmoil, this closed foreign large-growth fund’s hefty stake in smaller-cap and emerging-markets stocks has caused it to sink 22.1% for the year to date. Despite its recent tumble, the fund still holds appeal. Manager George Greig is a skillful stock-picker who has delivered strong results over the trailing five- and 10-year periods. This fund isn’t suitable for conservative shareholders, but many others will likely be happy here. Loomis Sayles Bond LSBRX As a result of its propensity to take on credit risk, this fund has fallen 4.0%, underperforming the bulk of its multisector-bond peers. The fund’s management team, led by bond guru Dan Fuss, has been adding investment-grade (currently 44% of assets) and highyield bonds (24%) as these securities traded down. The team doesn’t scoop up bargains indiscriminately, though. The managers and the analysts supporting them thoroughly analyze each company’s balance sheets and competitive position. Short-term volatility comes with the territory here, but we think that longterm investors will be rewarded for their patience. œ News_0908.qxp 9/4/08 5:23 PM Page 14 14 Fund Manager Changes Fidelity Small Cap Stock FSLCX Fund News Impact: Negative 07-01-08 Paul Antico retired after 17 years with Fidelity. Andrew Sassine of Fidelity International Small Cap Opportunities FSCOX took over. | Our Take: Antico did a fine job over the years and was one of Fidelity’s best and most experienced small-cap managers. It’s a real blow. Oppenheimer Main Street MSIGX Impact: Negative 06-30-08 Nikolaos Monoyios, head of Oppenheimer’s Main Street team, retired. Monoyios comanaged the team’s three quant-driven funds: Oppenheimer Main Street, Main Street Small Cap OPMSX, and Main Street Opportunity OMSOX. Comanagers Mark Zavanelli and Mark Reinganum have been an integral part of the team since 1998 and 2002, respectively, and are deeply familiar with the funds’ quantitative approach. Both will now be listed as comanagers on all three funds. Alex Zhou, who has been involved with the team’s quantitative models since joining Oppenheimer in 1999, will also comanage the Main Street fund. | Our Take: We don’t expect big changes, but you never want to lose an experienced leader. TCW Value Opportunities TGVOX Impact: Negative 07-01-08 Comanager Nick Galluccio left the firm July 1 to become CEO of GAMCO Investors subsidiary Teton Advisors. | Our Take: This is a loss for TCW. Galluccio had been with the firm for 26 years and served as group managing director, U.S. equities. On the plus side, Susan Suvall will remain at the fund and has as much experience as Galluccio. T. Rowe Price Science & Tech PRSCX and Global Technology PRGTX Impact: Negative 01-01-09 T. Rowe Price announced plans to promote two analysts to the position of manager at its technology funds. On Jan. 1, Kennard W. Allen will replace Michael F. Sola as manager of Science & Technology. Allen joined T. Rowe Price in 2000, and his investment experience dates from 1999. On Oct. 1, David J. Eiswert will replace Jeffrey Rottinghaus as manager of Global Tech. He joined T. Rowe Price in 2003, and his investment experience dates from 2001. | Our Take: The funds have been rather middling performers, so it’s unclear if the change reflects T. Rowe’s dissatisfaction with the funds or something else. We don’t know much about the new managers, though T. Rowe’s manager handoffs are usually pretty smooth and don’t result in big strategy shifts. Vanguard Capital Value VCVLX and Vanguard Windsor VWNDX Impact: Positive 06-25-08 Vanguard has replaced manager Dave Fassnacht of Vanguard Windsor and Vanguard Capital Value. James N. Mordy, who, like Fassnacht, works for subadvisor Wellington Management, will take over Windsor. (AllianceBernstein remains the other subadvisor.) Peter I. Higgins, also of Wellington, will take over Capital Value. You may recall that Higgins had formerly run Dreyfus Mid-Cap Value and Dreyfus Small-Cap Value. Higgins’ style of buying fallen growth stocks worked wonderfully in the 1990s, but big tech weightings hurt when the bubble burst. | Our Take: Past manager changes at Wellington have improved results when it appeared that the manager was removed because of performance issues. So, we’ll give Vanguard and Wellington the benefit of the doubt, but we’ll keep a close eye on Higgins, who produced volatile results with an unusual value approach at Dreyfus. Vanguard Explorer VEXPX Impact: Positive 06-01-08 Four months after Vanguard terminated its relationship with Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. and gave its own Quantitative Equity Group a bigger slice of the pie, the firm has added Century Capital as a new subadvisor. The Boston-based investment-management firm, which currently manages $1.4 billion in assets, uses a concentrated, bottom-up investment approach and looks for profitable companies that use their own cash to fuel their growth. Lanny Thorndike, CIO of Century Capital and manager of Century Shares Trust CENSX and Century Small Cap Select CSMVX, will join the team. | Our Take: Century Small Cap Select is a Fund Analyst Pick, so we’re pleased to see a strong addition to the team. Harbor to Launch Commodity Fund A new fund from Harbor could be the best commodities fund around. Harbor Commodity RealReturn Strategy Fund, a clone of the PIMCO’s commodities fund, will charge a reasonable 0.94% expense ratio, whereas the PIMCO fund PCRDX charges 1.24% on its D shares. The fund will be managed by Mihir Worah. Vanguard Reopens Two Standouts Vanguard has reopened Vanguard Explorer VEXPX and Vanguard Health Care VGHCX, which are Analyst Picks. When the $10 billion Explorer first closed in February 2006, its assets weighed in at $12 billion. Health Care has been closed since March 2005, when its assets approached $23 billion, and the fund is roughly $600 million larger today. Both funds, however, have seen steady outflows over the past two years or so. Explorer has a $3,000 minimum investment requirement and Health Care requires $25,000. Vanguard Tweaks Total International Stock Vanguard said it plans to allow Total International Stock Index VGTSX to own individual stocks directly in addition to mutual funds. Until now, the fund had been structured as a fund of funds, investing in a combination of three other international index funds: Vanguard European Stock Index VEURX, Vanguard Pacific Stock Index VPACX, and Vanguard Emerging Markets Stock Index VEIEX. The firm is initially transitioning roughly 50% of the fund’s mutual fund shares to direct equities. This change won’t alter the fund’s objective of tracking a customized benchmark based on the MSCI Europe Index, MSCI Pacific Index, and MSCI Emerging Markets Index. And the fund’s 0.27% price tag won’t change. Vanguard said that the fund’s added flexibility will improve its ability to track the markets, as the fund will now be able to invest cash flows as they’re received rather than waiting until the end of the day. Other benefits include the potential for increased tax efficiency, according to the firm. News_0908.qxp 9/4/08 5:23 PM Page 15 Morningstar FundInvestor PIMCO Makes Small Fee Changes PIMCO is hiking fees for the institutional share classes of PIMCO Total Return PTTRX, as well as PIMCO Low Duration PTLDX, PIMCO Moderate Duration PMDRX, and Analyst Pick PIMCO High Yield PHIYX on Oct. 1, 2008. The administration and supervisory fee for two of the Bill Gross-run funds, Total Return and Low Duration, will rise by 3 basis points (0.03%) apiece, while the levy on the third, Moderate Duration, will inch up by 1 basis point (0.01%). The same charge on High Yield will climb by 5 basis points (0.05%). These alterations affect the funds’ Institutional, Administrative, and P shares. The good news is that PIMCO is cutting expenses elsewhere. The same line-item fees on the no-load D share classes of several funds will be dropping, substantially in some cases, on the same date. The deepest cuts of the lot send the costs of the shop’s All Asset PASDX and All Asset All Authority PAUDX down by 20 basis points (0.20%) each. The administrative and supervisory fees for four funds, Analyst Picks PIMCO Foreign Bond (Unhedged) PFBDX and PIMCO Foreign Bond (USD-Hedged) PFODX, and inflation-beating offerings Real Return PRRDX and RealEstateRealReturn Strategy PETDX, will shrink by 5 basis points (0.05%). Lastly, the advisory fee on Real Return Asset Institutional’s PRAIX shares will drop by 5 basis points (0.05%). Matthews Reopens Asian Funds Matthews reopened a pair of funds Sept. 2, 2008: Matthews Pacific Tiger MAPTX and Matthews Asian Growth & Income MACSX. An Analyst Pick in the Pacific/Asia ex-Japan Stock category, the allcap Pacific Tiger originally closed to investors in June 2006, and Asian Growth & Income closed back in November 2003. Matthews hopes to put new money to work in investment opportunities that it is spotting among firms with strong growth prospects and attractive valuations. Pacific Tiger and Asian Growth & Income have roughly $2.7 billion and $1.9 billion in assets, respectively. September 2008 15 Lazard Emerging Markets to Close Lazard Emerging Markets LZEMX will close its doors to new investors Sept. 30, 2008. A strong track record coupled with the rise in popularity of emergingmarkets strategies has helped drive up the fund’s assets under management from approximately $354.9 million at year-end 2002 to $7.6 billion as of July 2008. In particular, management’s wariness of Chinese stocks has paid off nicely in 2008. SEC Makes Distribution to Putnam, Janus Investors Nearly five years after the market-timing scandal rocked the fund industry, the SEC has announced that it will make the first batch of distributions to Putnam and Janus investors who were harmed by the firms’ misconduct. More than 600,000 Putnam investors will receive nearly $40 million, and more than 325,000 Janus investors will receive more than $18 million. The SEC will ultimately distribute $150 million to Putnam investors and $100 million to Janus investors, which will be funded by the two fund shops. Two Changes to WealthKeeper Portfolio We took Northeast Investors NTHEX off our Fund Analyst Picks list due to concerns about a thin staff and recent credit blowups. That’s why we’re replacing that fund with T. Rowe Price High-Yield PRHYX. Manager Mark Vaselkiv is one of our favorite highyield managers. Vaselkiv has produced top-decile returns without taking on big risks. The fund typically does much better than its peers in tough years like this one and 2002. Vaselkiv is more conservative on credit risk, but he is also just better than most at researching junk bonds. Moreover, he’s supported by a 15-person team of analysts and traders. That gives us confidence about the depth of research. In addition, we’re swapping Fidelity Short-Term Bond FSHBX for T. Rowe Price Short-Term Bond PRWBX. The Fidelity fund has been a disappointment, whereas the T. Rowe fund’s conservatism gives us confidence in the current environment. The fund’s gain of 2.5% for the year to date isn’t exciting, but it beats the losses we’ve seen many funds suffer due to problems in mortgages. œ R3_0908.qxp 9/4/08 5:24 PM Page 16 16 Jensen Is Quietly Effective out as expected—annual portfolio turnover hardly ever rises above the low teens. The FundInvestor Focused 10 | Greg Carlson An Oddball in Its Category Jensen Fund’s JENSX highly disciplined approach leads to streaky relative performance but dependable long-term returns. Based in Portland, Ore., the Jensen team won’t consider a company unless it has generated returns on equity of at least 15% for each of the past 10 years. If a holding falls short, it’s sold and the clock starts over again. This happened in 2001 with Intel INTC, although issues at the firm that caused it to drop below Jensen’s ROE hurdle would have prompted the fund’s managers to sell the stock even if it had maintained its ROE streak. The ROE screen helps narrow down the universe of U.S. stocks (the fund doesn’t own foreign names) to the type of firms that management prefers: those with lasting competitive advantages within their industries, management teams that make smart capital-allocation decisions, and healthy balance sheets. The team, composed of five portfolio managers and two analysts, then sets to work identifying those remaining companies with solid growth prospects that trade at significant discounts to the team’s estimate of their future values. The team uses various measures to determine valuation—it will discount estimated future cash flows into the future—but also considers P/E and price/book ratios, among others. Given the team’s strict criteria, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the fund’s portfolio is compact—it currently has just 28 holdings. The team used to limit the fund to 25 stocks, but because of an increased number of opportunities as a result of stocks’ recent decline as well as a desire to modestly reduce the potential damage done by blowups, that number has crept up a bit. Nevertheless, the managers invest with a lot of conviction: Half the fund’s assets are stuffed into its top 10 holdings. What’s more, the team will hang on to its picks for many years if they work Because companies that meet all of management’s requirements tend to be big, fairly fast-growing, and sometimes more expensive than the average valuations of the broad market, this fund falls into the large-growth category. However, unlike its typical category rival, this fund rarely owns many firms in those traditional “growth” areas with short product cycles or boom-or-bust profiles, such as tech and biotech. (It also rarely owns firms with strong connections to commodities.) Instead, the portfolio is tilted toward steadier fare such as health care (especially makers of medical devices such as top holding Stryker SYK), consumer-goods firms like Procter & Gamble PG, and diversified industrial companies that are less economically sensitive than most in that sector, including 3M Company MMM. Stryker is a fine example of a long-term holding that cleared management’s hurdles and has since benefited the fund’s shareholders as a result. First purchased in mid-1999, the company makes orthopedic implants as well as equipment for orthopedic surgeons—areas that have grown steadily as the baby boom generation has aged. The company has been able to plow revenues back into research and development in order to maintain its competitive edge yet still pay off the debt from acquisitions. And although it might face pricing pressure as healthcare costs rise, management believes that the firm faces far less pricing risk than drugmakers, in part because it also makes a bone protein that reduces the need for surgery. Since the stock was added to the portfolio nine years ago, it has roughly doubled the return of the fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500 Index. One recent purchase that demonstrates management’s preferences is Adobe Systems ADBE. Added to the portfolio in 2008’s first quarter, the software-maker stands to benefit from the growth of digital media thanks to products with dominant market share, such as its Acrobat PDF format as well as Photoshop and Illustrator. Its acquisition of Macromedia (which makes Flash) in 2005 allows Adobe to offer a more R3_0908.qxp 9/4/08 5:24 PM Page 17 Morningstar FundInvestor September 2008 17 The FundInvestor Focused 10 Fund Name Category Manager Name (Tenure Years) Ariel Appreciation CAAPX 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 Torray TORYX Mid-Cap Blend Small Growth Large Blend Large Blend Large Blend Large Growth Large Blend Large Blend Large Blend Large Blend Rogers Jr./Sauer (3.9) Management Team (11.6) Davis/Feinberg (2.7) Management Team (3.0) Kellner/English (6.8) Management Team (6.6) Frels/Henneman (5.7) David A.

We shine the spotlight on 10 funds from the FundInvestor 500 that follow a focused, low-turnover strategy. integrated suite of products, according to the fund’s management team. What’s more, the company boasts a very passionate user base of creative professionals that is highly unlikely to switch to another company’s products. Thus, Jensen’s managers believe that the volatility of Adobe’s earnings is likely to temper—making it much less economically sensitive than most tech firms. Finally, thanks in part to its solid business franchises, Adobe’s balance sheet is quite healthy. Not Just a Port in a Storm As a result of the fund’s sector biases, it lags when racy fare or commodity plays are in favor. The fund struggled mightily in 1999 and 2003, for example. But it holds up extremely well in tough times—it posted a superb showing in the 2000–02 bear market and has done a fine job of preserving capital thus far in 2008’s carnage, as leveraged fare has struggled mightily amid the seizing up of credit markets. For the year to date through Aug. 18, 2008, the fund has lost 4.5%, which betters 95% of its category rivals. (That’s due in part to the team’s avoidance of banks, which have struggled mightily over the past year, in favor of financial firms with steadier, fee-based revenue.) Furthermore, the fund puts up fine absolute returns in most strong markets. All told, the fund’s long-term record is strong, and it’s been one of the least-volatile large-growth funds around as well. The fund’s fundamentally appealing strategy and attractive risk/reward profile aren’t the only things it has going for it. Shareholders have generally been treated quite well over time. They certainly don’t have to pay a lot of costs here: The fund’s 0.85% expense ratio makes it one of the cheaper no-load large-cap funds around. What’s more, the team’s slow-moving approach means the fund pays out a very small amount of money in brokerage commissions each year—less than 0.05% of its average net assets each year. Thus, the fund has a nice head start on its typical large-growth rival, which trades far more frequently. We’re also very impressed with other elements of Jensen’s corporate culture: Management is clearly focused on performance rather than marketing, portfolio-manager transitions (a couple of the team’s older members have retired) have been handled with plenty of advance planning, and the team has rigorous hiring practices in place for its investment professionals. We like the fact that the entire team is focused on one single strategy and that it has plenty of flexibility to reach down the market-cap ladder when smaller companies meet its criteria: At last count, the team managed roughly $2.5 billion. To be sure, investors need to be able to look past short-term relative performance to have a good experience here. The fund will go through extended dry spells, given its atypical look. But from an absolutereturn perspective, the fund is fairly easy to handle: Its worst loss in a calendar year was 11% in 2002 (less than half that of its typical rival). Those looking for a tame equity fund that should still beat its rivals over the long haul ought to be happy here. œ Contact Greg Carlson at greg_carlson@morningstar.com FAPTrack_0908.qxp 9/4/08 5:25 PM Page 18 18 The Best of Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Emerging Markets Tracking Fund Analyst Picks | Hilary Fazzone 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. Using regionally focused foreign funds can be a good way to diversify a portfolio and to gain extra exposure to specific markets. Or you can use them to hurt your portfolio by making crazy bets with high-cost funds. Our top choices tend to have proven managers who apply judicious strategies to these sometimes unruly asset classes. Mutual European TEMIX Manager changes have caused us to revoke and reinstate this fund’s Analyst Pick status, but we’re confident that it’s a winner now. The 2005 departure of lead manager and Mutual Series CIO David Winters raised concerns regarding not only the void left at this fund but also the firm’s ability to retain talent, and the fund was removed from our short list. However, we got to know Winters’ replacement, Philippe Brugere-Trelat, who had two decades of experience investing in Europe, and we made the fund a pick again. Since we first made it a pick in 2002, the fund’s 12.1% annualized return has trumped the Europe-stock fund category average of 11.5%. Matthews Pacific Tiger MAPTX This fund has stuck to its judicious strategy since we made it a pick in 1999. Management looks for companies with strong long-term earnings prospects and managers who are smart about allocating their capital. It prefers smaller-cap companies where it can gain a research edge, and it isn’t afraid to let its top picks soak up assets. During its tenure as a pick, the fund has posted a 12.4% annualized gain versus the category’s 11.1% return. T. Rowe Price New Asia PRASX Longtime manager Frances Dydasco subscribes to T. Rowe’s measured pursuit of reasonably valued growth stocks, but she isn’t wedded to an index and allows her stock selection to dictate the fund’s country allocation. This can lead to big bets on individual markets and has sometimes resulted in sharp drops. This year, the fund’s heavy stakes in China and India (two of the hardest-hit markets in 2008) have driven the fund’s 37% loss through August. Ultimately, the fund has been a strong long-term performer, although its 7.8% annualized gain since we made it a pick in 2000 lags the category’s 9.0% result. American Funds New World NEWFX Index, which means it courts a bias toward the largest companies and markets in the region, while its rock-bottom 0.22% annual fee gives it a distinct cost advantage over its Europe-stock peers. This fund invests a little under half of assets directly in emerging markets and the remainder in companies that earn most of their revenue in those markets, subjecting shareholders to less of the volatility that characterizes this asset class. That means that it loses less when the category struggles. For example, this year it’s running more than 600 basis points ahead of its average peer. Since this fund was made a pick in 2002, its still-impressive 21% annualized gain over that time has lagged the 24% category average. T. Rowe Price Latin America PRLAX T. Rowe Price Emerging Markets Stock PRMSX The caution with which this fund approaches the volatile Latin American market makes it our top choice in this wild category. Manager Gonzalo Pangaro applies T. Rowe Price’s taste for strong and consistent growers selling at reasonable prices, and we think Pangaro’s measured skepticism benefits investors over the long term. Indeed, the fund’s 29.5% annualized return since we made it a pick in 2002 trumps all but one of its peers’ in this small category. This fund’s strength lies with the experienced and skilled management behind it. (See Page 4 for details.) The fund’s 21.9% annualized gain since the fund was chosen to be a pick in 2002 trumps the category’s 20.0% average. œ Vanguard European Stock Index VEURX This fund tracks the market-cap-weighted MSCI Europe Contact Hilary Fazzone at hilary_fazzone@morningstar.com FAPTrack_0908.qxp 9/4/08 5:25 PM Page 19 Morningstar FundInvestor September 2008 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 76.30 57.13 70.79 44.36 Batting Average 53.93 % Picks in Top Quartile 21.48 Domestic Stock 59.69 39.10 55.12 41.50 19.78 9.89 International Equity 98.90 90.75 99.41 89.88 67.86 32.14 Municipal Bond 74.60 45.78 80.32 53.49 57.58 30.30 Taxable Bond 58.00 40.01 58.08 34.67 51.61 23.96 Data through July 31, 2008.

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. It has been nearly a year and a quarter since the subprime mess started and the bottom dropped out for non-Treasury bonds and the funds that invest in them. We thought it made sense to take a look at where, if anywhere, some of the top managers who fared well during the credit crisis see value as they look out across the fixed-income landscape today. Being a contrarian hasn’t worked out well lately, as the housing market has sunk, the economy in general has sputtered, and investors have been loathe to take on risk. Nonetheless, there’s ample compensation out there for those willing to buck that trend, especially if they’re willing to hold on for a while. Bob Rodriguez and Tom Atteberry, FPA New Income FPNIX Rodriguez and Atteberry have been holding on to higher-quality short-term fare for a long time. They continue to be worried about the risks of higher inflation and slower economic growth. Higher tax rates are another concern because of increased government intervention in recent months, so in all they aren’t picking up new high-yield bond positions or buying longer-term bonds. But they have been buying agency mortgage bonds (that is, those sponsored by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae) that have sold off during the past year. They’re focusing on issues originated before 2006, with short maturities and lower loan balances. These moves should allow them to increase the fund’s yield without taking on much interest-rate or default risk. Dan Fuss, Kathleen Gaffney, and team, Loomis Sayles Bond LSBRX Fuss and Gaffney have stepped on the accelerator in recent months. Their MO is to buy long-term corporate bonds at deeply discounted prices and hold on to them for ages. They beefed up the fund’s stake in high-yield fare late in 2007 and early in 2008, adding names that don’t appear likely to go back to the bond market for financing. More recently, they’ve turned their attention to the investment-grade area, picking up financials, media, and other beatendown names. This positioning has weighed on results, as corporates, particularly at the longer end of the spectrum, have stumbled, but this move isn’t about this year or next, but rather about income and totalreturn potential for years to come. Bill Gross, PIMCO Total Return PTTRX Gross has seen value in a lot of areas throughout the market weakness, from muni bonds to mortgages to certain corporate issues to non-U.S. fare. One interesting move for PIMCO’s managers has been to add to their stakes in large money center banks that they perceive as “too big to fail.” This move has allowed Gross to boost the fund’s yield, but it has also looked like he and his peers may have picked these names up too early. He has also changed up the fund’s interest-rate positioning, moving from a long leaning that helped during the Fed’s rate-slashing campaign to an emphasis on shorter maturities, which has been helpful at the margins. On the whole, the fund still appears to be in tip-top shape. Jeff Gundlach and Philip Barach, TCW Total Return TGLMX Gundlach is nearly as gloomy as Rodriguez and Atteberry when he writes about the risks in the financial system. However, he and his team at TCW have some hope that recent mortgage-market losses can be recovered. They started scooping up nonagency mortgage bonds when these bonds had reached “unusually attractive risk-adjusted values” in March 2008, taking care to stick with the highest-rated issues and to stress-test them under various outcomes. The fund’s 45% stake in these bonds is rather high for the fund, and it has weighed on performance during July and August. On the whole, though, the fund has been holding up rather well lately, and we have as much confidence in TCW’s ability to analyze these securities as we do in anybody’s. œ IS_0908.qxp 9/5/08 4:48 PM Page 21 Morningstar FundInvestor September 2008 21 Bond-Market Snapshot Treasury Yield Curve (%) Yield to maturity of current bills, notes, and bonds Interest-Rate Review 7.00 Municipal bonds continue to look attractively valued relative to Treasuries. At the long end of the yield curve, munis’ yields are near 112% of Treasuries, making this market still appear very attractively valued. Spreads have continued to widen between Treasuries and high-yield bonds, as the high-yield sector has seen price declines in anticipation of increasing default rates. Additionally, Fed Funds futures markets indicate traders think the Fed will hold rates steady in the fall. 6.00 5.00 4.00 One Year Ago (8-31-07) 3.00 2.00 Maturity Current (8-31-08) 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_0908.qxp 9/4/08 5:27 PM Page 22 22 Allianz NFJ and Diamond Hill Large Cap Join the 500 Changes to the 500 | Dan Culloton 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. There are a couple of additions and deletions to the FundInvestor 500 this month. We also removed two funds from our Fund Analyst Picks list, although they remain in the 500. In with the New Welcome Allianz NFJ Dividend Value PNEAX to the 500. The fund, which reopened to new investors in May, has produced consistently strong results this decade with a unique dividend-focused strategy. Senior mutual fund analyst Marta Norton has been a fan for a couple of years and returned from a visit to NFJ’s Dallas headquarters earlier this year still impressed. That visit gave us confidence in the personnel backing up lead manager Ben Fischer, who is the “F” in NFJ and has worked on the fund since its 2001 inception. We made the fund an analyst pick. Say hello also to Diamond Hill Large Cap DHLAX, managed by veteran, value-oriented contrarian Chuck Bath. He runs this load fund in a compact, highconviction style that can lead to rough periods. But his stringent valuation standards have helped the fund turn in great long-term returns. The fund’s 1.18% expense ratio is not exorbitant, either. You can buy the fund without paying a load at Charles Schwab. Check out the profile on the opposing page for more on this fund. Out with the Old Say goodbye to Oppenheimer Main Street MSIGX, whose manager Nikos Monoyios has retired. He was the most experienced member of the management team, having joined former lead manager Chuck Albers in 1979 at Guardian Park Avenue and moved to Oppenheimer with Albers in 1998. We’re also cutting loose Fidelity Asset Manager 70% FASGX. The fund switched to a sector-neutral approach in which analysts will attempt to beat their benchmarks through stock selection. As Fidelity still has a ways to go in upgrading its analyst staff, the management setup isn’t compelling. Northeast Investors Comes Off Picks List We’re taking Northeast Investors NTHEX off our picks list. The junk-bond fund tends to have a lot riding on each bond in the portfolio. Recent blowups among big holdings and a very thin management team give us pause. We still think it’s a good fund and like the experience of managers Ernest and Bruce Monrad, but we don’t believe the fund is a true standout. Wasatch Heritage Growth Leaves Picks List Back in May we made Wasatch Small Cap Growth WAAEX a pick. This year we’re removing another fund from the family: Wasatch Heritage Growth WAHGX. We made this fund a pick in the mid-cap growth category shortly after its inception in June 2004. The idea behind picking the fund was simple: It was a natural evolution of Wasatch’s process. The firm is renowned for its small-cap expertise, so we thought surely there were some stocks Wasatch still liked that grew up into mid-caps. We also thought the firm could make its emphasis on profitability and high, sustainable earnings growth work with mid-caps, too. Although the fund has lost less than its peers in the year to date through Aug. 15, 2008, its record since inception has been desultory. We’d like to see better evidence that Wasatch can pick mid-cap stocks as effectively as it has selected small caps. The fund could still become a pick again, but it needs to establish itself on its own terms. œ Summary of Changes Additions Deletions Diamond Hill Large Cap A Allianz NFJ Small Cap Value D Oppenheimer Main Street A Fidelity Asset Manager 70% Fund Analyst Picks Additions Fund Analyst Picks Deletions Allianz NFJ Small Cap Value Northeast Investors Fidelity Dividend Growth 500_0908.qxp 9/4/08 5:28 PM Page 23 Morningstar FundInvestor Ticker DHLAX Diamond Hill Large Cap A Governance and Management Load 5.00% NAV $14.57 Yield 1.2% September 2008 Total Assets $495 mil Return High Risk Average Rating Highest Portfolio Manager(s) 87% 93% 88% 88% 86% 96% Strategy Manager Charles Bath buys stocks of profitable large- and mid-cap companies that have high barriers to entry, grow at above-average rates, and are trading at discounts to his estimate of fair value.

Both of those moves have paid off in spades. Yet more importantly, we believe Bath's insistence on bargains could help shield the fund when the markets head south. That's not to say the fund won't hit bumps from time to time. Bath admits, for instance, that he underestimated the impact the subprime mortgage debacle has had on financial holdings such as Washington Mutual. In addition, management's tendency to back its picks with plenty of conviction can weigh on the fund when those picks stumble (top holdings tend to soak up 5% of assets apiece). Even so, the fund's top-quartile risk-adjusted performance on Bath's watch bolsters our confidence that he and his team can make more right calls than wrong ones over the longer haul. That track record, in addition to management's straightforward and defensive style, has us keen on the fund.

Kimberly-Clark Corporati Current Investment Style Value Blnd Growth Market Cap Large Mid Small Diamond Hill Large Cap is demonstrating that a strong defense is one its many merits. This fund has held up relatively well during the market's recent turmoil. Its 3.2% loss over the past 12 months through June 9, 2008 looks especially rosy alongside the 13% loss of its average peer. That showing has been fueled in part by the portfolio's hefty slug of rallying energy stocks such as top holdings Apache Corporation and Devon Energy, both of which have gained more than 30% thus far in 2008. We think the fund's recent showing is no fluke. For instance, during the category's down months since skipper Chuck Bath took the helm in October 2002 through May 2008, the fund has lost less money than its typical rival roughly 80% of the time. We'd attribute part of that downside protection to management's approach. Rather than hewing to the fund's Russell 1000 Index benchmark, management's valuation process solely drives its picks.

Senior Product Manager Jeannie Bernier Q: What do you think about closed-end bond funds? A: There are some good ones, but stay away from leveraged ones for now because auction-rate securities are making a mess of the situation. Q: I’m confused. Is Oakmark Equity & Income OAKBX open or closed? A: It’s open to new investors who go directly through Oakmark, but you can’t get in through the mutual fund supermarkets. Q: What are the best TIPS funds? A: Vanguard Inflation-Protected Securities VIPSX is a great option because it has the lowest costs, and with Treasuries there’s not a lot of value to be added. A second good option is Harbor Real Return Institutional HARRX, which is run by PIMCO. The minimum investment is only $1,000. You have to go directly to Harbor to avoid additional fees. There are two caveats for any TIPS fund. First, TIPS have rallied to the point where their inflation protection is severely reduced. Second, TIPS funds are not taxefficient, so keep them in a tax-sheltered account. Q: Vanguard Selected Value VASVX has had a brutal one-year return. Should I stick with it or bail? A: Manager Jim Barrow has built a great long-term track record, but his deep-value style is bound to have some tough years like this one. We expect a rebound. œ mfi.morningstar.com Sign Up for E-mail Alerts Keep up to date on manager changes and new Fund Analyst Picks.
