Looking for small/mid cap fund and this fund fmimx caught my eye. Any opinions on it, does anyone own it. Thanks

Comments

  • I held it for a number of years & sold it 9/17 when cashing out 401-k. From what I remember it was okay.
    Good investing, Derf
  • Owned it for several years. Pretty decent fund.
  • I've owned it and the other FMI funds. I have no plans to sell it. There's nothing flashy about it and that's what I appreciate. If you're interested, spend some time reading their quarterly reports. It is important to understand how their team is set up and their approach. I would read several years going back to the dotcom period if able.
  • This truly does look like a winner. Thank you for bringing it up.

    Are you buying through a brokerage or direct? Their website is underwhelming and they have no online account access. Everything is done by phone or mail - no electronic statements or documents. If you prefer to do everything online, stay away, or buy through a brokerage.

    Their customer service is good, though. Their reports are timely and detailed, unlike some who take a full 90 days. (I hate getting fund reports in January for the period that ended in September.)

    Performance is easy enough to look up. I won’t say they shoot the lights out, but I’ve been happy with it for years. They keep AUM under control, and despite being somewhat concentrated it’s not too bumpy.

    I also like POAGX and RPMGX (if you can get it).

  • Thanks everyone for your response.
    FMI seems like a outstanding Fund family, all 3 of there funds look to be well run.
    To joe74, I will be buying FMIMX thru a brokerage, and do currently also have POAGX.
  • @BECKMANB: an off-shoot of the FMI family is PROVX, a fund previously discussed on the board.
  • I own it and I like the fund
