Good grief. Think it's just barely opened.

Here's link to David's profile:

So, the strategy is appraoching $3B?

Their estimate, given current conditions, is that they could effectively manage about $3 billion in assets.

Or, have conditions changed? I thought EMs were becoming "good value" again.

They announced long ago that they will close EM when it approaches $200M. Now it is very close to this upper bound.

Reply to @Ted: A one hit wonder! I grew up with that song!

Reply to @TheShadow: Great song but whoa nelly ...... You must be a real youngster. Or conversely, Ted and I must be real geezers.

Reply to @Junkster: Well, maybe a little older than that as the cd came out in 1998 and I was in my early 30's. I do have the cd.

Junkster

Reply to @TheShadow: OK, maybe not such a youngster. I was thinking you were a teen or pre teen then.

Charles

Reply to @andrei: Yep, guess you're right. And the $200M number is in the profile. Thanks Andrei. Business is good at Grandeur Peak, looks like.

Many thanks for this alert. I repositioned some dough to make new purchases in our Roth IRAs. Had already established a new position in a taxable account in January. The very best that the MFO board has to offer is timely information on the small MF shops like Grandeur Peak. Very pleased with my results in GPGOX and GPIOX, also.
