LONGLEAF INTERNATL

Rating:

DATE: 3/11/2010

Always liked Longleaf. The managers of the funds invest large amounts of their personal money.
LLINX is a buy and hold strategy, and as has been said in the past, a unique strategy - willing to go against the grain. A ten year total return of
8.03% places in the number 2 slot in its category, Foreign large blend.
Latest news is that the fund's advisor has dropped it management fee, but I still think the the ER is too high.
The other news is that the fund in now unhedge ...

ISHARES TR U S TREAS INFLATION

Rating:

DATE: 3/8/2010

For TIPS this is the one. Inexpensive, owns only inflation-protected Treasuries, backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S.government.

Fund lowered its expense ratio enticing me to take another look. The average long/short fund charges 2%. ARBFX lowered its expense ratio for retail shares to 1.69%.
Nice small asset base gives the managers the ability to use small and micro caps.
Even in a difficult time for deals to be made, this fund returned 10% last year. To boost returns at the fund, the managers write call options on target stock to capture premium income. ...

HARTFORD INFLATION PLUS CLASS A

Rating:

DATE: 3/1/2010

Thought I'd write a little about fund that does not get a lot of press. I always like to get the scoop on funds that hedge against inflation.
HIPAX must hold at least 65% in TIPS and there were times that the fund held 90% in TIPS. The rest of the portfolio varies and gives the managers the flexibility to do what they deem best for the other 35%. Manager, Hendricks has recently scaled back on short dated TIPS; his feeling, that near-term inflation is not happening. This fund did rather ...
