Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
I assume this guy was Soviero's mentor or at least model (FLVCX). (If paywalled, just searched for putnam glancy boston globe or similar.) Solid strategies well-executed.
Concur; I know nothing about them and have never wanted to, although like MFS and some others they are a big part of the picture here in Boston. More important, they have made big talent raids on Fido, and some obviously have paid off. (Wonder how much other companies regularly offer Tillinghast.) I would steer people toward Soviero if they wanted to play in that interesting space. However, I hasten to add, as you and others would point out, that if the question is how much better does he do given the extra risk, if you overlay his results with others' (any time periods; not talking indexing), the answer is a little but not a lot. So....
