T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation fund to close to new investors
From the May 1, 2014 prospectus (excerpt) link above:
...Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares "Subject to certain exceptions, the fund will be closed to new investors and new accounts after the close of the New York Stock Exchange on June 30, 2014. Investors who already hold shares of the fund after June 30, 2014, may continue to purchase additional shares."
Here is the Summary Prospectus with a 4/29/14 filing date with the same information:
Wow. Good on TROW. Wife is in it, she'll be pleased.
Of course, you have to wonder what "subject to certain exceptions" means. Basically, anyone who opens a TROW brokerage account can buy as much PRWCX as they want?
As of April 22, 2014, the fund has assets totaling almost $20.14 billion invested in 289 different holdings. This fund is one of my all time favorites, if you interest get in now. Regards, Ted

If memory serves, Giroux runs at least another $10B+ in clone funds or private accounts.
That's the last fund I would have expected. I know it's grown very large. I recall 5-10 years ago a lot of the $$ from Catapillar's employees' pension fund came in. Tried to dig up the details on that, but can't for whatever reason. Do recall reading about it at the time.
Guess that's what happens when you have a great run like the fund has had. Recall same thing happened to DODBX nearly a decade ago - and if my fading memory is correct, that fund closed. Course everything blew up couple years later.
