    Does anyone has more background information on Ben Griffins? He is listed as co-manager who joined Justin Thomson since March 2020. I would expect this transition plan has been in place for some time - 9 months is a bit short. Perhaps Ben Griffins has experience co-managing other international funds.

    Great fund. 8% of my own portfolio. Up 11.35% over 10 years. But it's a CLOSED fund. That won't help anyone who wants to GET IN. ..... The switch does not appear to be sudden. That, at least, is reassuring.

    You are so lucky. I was late to invest before it closed. Now I am using a Grandeur Peaks fund with a higher ER. TRP has many great funds with reasonable fees.
