  • I'll note Gateway's founding manager, Peter Thayer, ran the fund for 20 years (1977-97). For the last three of those years, Patrick Rogers was his co-manager.

    Patrick Rogers managed the fund for almost 19 years (1994-2013). For the last seven of those years, Paul Stewart was his co-manager. Michael Buckius has been in that role for five years. Kenneth Toft is the newby.
