A Top-Performing Growth Fund Looks Beyond Tech: (TIRTX)
FYI: Susan Hirsch began her career researching mainframes and minicomputers years before technology was a stand-alone category. For 40-plus years—having watched industry heavyweights falter and internet companies rebuild themselves after the dot-com bust—she has learned to cut through the hype.
The track record of the $5 billion TIAA-CREF Large-Cap Growth fund (ticker: TIRTX) she manages shows that Hirsch, 65, has been a good student. Over the past year, the fund’s 36% return has outpaced 89% of its large-cap growth peers, according to Morningstar. The fund’s nearly 17% average annual return over the past five years has beaten 82% of peers. Regards, Ted http://www.cetusnews.com/business/Susan-Hirsch--Change-Agent.HkBGzXwNz.html
