FYI: Mutual fund manager Thomas Vandeventer marches to his own drummer.
It seems to be working. The fund Vandeventer runs, The Tocqueville Opportunity Fund (TOPPX), is up 36% year to date, according to Morningstar, blowing away the 25.1% on its benchmark, the Russell Mid Cap Growth Index.
And while the fund primarily holds small- and mid-cap stocks, it's posting a return more than double large-cap indexes such as the S&P 500 and the Russell 1000.
The fund, which has 92 million in assets under management, beat its benchmark on an annualized basis for the three-year period 18.3% vs. 14.4%, and the 5-year period, 11.9% vs. 10.6%, according to Morningstar.
