Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
Last night I observed that all three fund mgrs of the fund invested more than a million in this fund. Though, that amount is nothing for them, they have invested only in this fund, not in the other two they manage, short term bond and core bond.
I posted this earlier too, WAFMX fund mgr has more than million in it. Generally, very few mgrs invest that much even in EM, forget about Frontier Markets.
SUBFX holding up very well this year. It appears to be 30% long cash currently, which helps. Impressive performance for bond fund given conditions lately:
Not about SUBFX (which I own, thanks to David) but while we're talking about manager investments... I noticed yesterday that Fairholme's website reports that Berkowitz owns 10.5 million shares of FAAFX. At 11.50/share, that's $120 million out of a total AUM of $300 million, according to M*. Is there any other major mutual fund out there where the manager owns 40% of the shares? I've owned FAAFX since it opened and obviously its relative performance has been mediocre, but if we get a bigger market dip I may add to it.

Of course, David as usual saw this one coming...

Sorry, I did not realize that David already mentioned this in his coverage/update.
