    It appears as though Chartwell previously did away with 5.75% load "A" shares for its Short Duration High Yield fund. Its CWFIX "I" shares also has a posted $1-million initial requirement.

    The prospectus reads "eligible" shareholders may convert to Class I shares for its small cap value, CWSIX.

    My view remains: the offerings of Berwyn and Chartwell appear somewhat redundant.

    Chartwell's two mutual funds: small cap value (CWSIX-$1.7B market cap) and short duration (CWFIX- mostly BB-rated corporate bonds).

    Berwyn: Berwyn (BERWX-$620m market cap) and Berwyn Income (BERIX- >%50 corporate bonds, BBB to B )
