    I recently sold part of my FMIJX; I did not realize I was such a Big Macher who could move the market.

    I hope this means they are starting to find value somewhere in the world and are buying stocks. Or, it could have been BenWP:)

    Not sure this is a good sign?

    Anybody have insight into other funds that have reopened? GOOD ? BAD? WHY?

    They're re-opening because they lost assets as investors headed for the exits after a "poor" 2017. First, FMI's performance wasn't exactly poor because essentially 100% of the underperformance vs the MSCI EAFE was due to the fund's currency hedge, which is not a bet, it's structural; the Fund actually outperformed the MSCI EAFE in local currency, albeit by 22 bps. Second, this is a prime example of how short-minded many investors are. Lastly, I'm not happy that they've re-opened; this is a smaller firm that does not need more assets. Keep your current clients happy and stick to your knitting. Investors that understand FMI will continue to stick with them regardless of a short-term performance.
