R.I.P. John Neff: (VWNPX)

FYI: John Neff, the legendary investment manager and a long-time member of the Barron’s Roundtable, died this week at 87. Neff favored deeply unloved stocks with hidden potential. And he bought them by the truckload for the Vanguard Windsor Fund, which he managed for 31 years, through 1995. The fund posted a cumulative total return of 5,546% on his sensible watch, nearly two-and-a-half times the performance of the S&P 500.
Regards,
Ted

  • It's kind of sad. I think he deserves as much recognition for the success of Vanguard as Mr. Bogle.
