    Why?

    New Fund (RPMGX) has about $34B AUM. Old fund (PRDMX) has about $2B AUM, and has outperformed the larger fund most recently, and over the last 1, 3 and 5 years.

    Last 1 year: PRDMX @ 15%, RPMGX @ 10%
    Last 3 yrs_: PRDMX @ 16%, RPMGX @ 13%
    Last 5 yrs_: PRDMX @ 14%, RPMGX @ 13%

    Guessing this is a promotion.

    From the article:

    ...The Diversified Mid Cap Growth fund is ranked 60 out of 163 Mid-Cap Growth funds...
    The larger Mid-Cap Growth fund is ranked 116 in the same category, having returned 47.5% over the same period.

    Probably to boost performance on a larger fund.

    RPMGX is closed to new investors. T. Rowe Price must have a plan to continue the already good record for PRDMX.

    Is it possible that TRowe will try to merge the $34B RPMGX into the better performing $2B PRDMX, and bury the poorer record of the bigger fund?

    Naah ... just -uhm- kidding...

    Also, please note that Donald J Easely is stepping down from PRDMX, but leaving Donald J Peters at the smaller fund.

    Is this a case of one Donald J trumping another Donald J?

    You can't make this stuff up!
