    Would be nice if he sorted/excluded/ranked also by manager, since at least some of these are not the same people for that timespan (magellan, e.g.). Danoff and the Primecap crowd, oh yeah. (And Danoff has often said his lead hero is Heebner, bwahaha.)

    All American Funds and the Primecap are all team managed. I was only looking to see direct results for the large funds regardless of reasoning, to see how they maintained including any succession planning required.

    Nice to see some of the American Funds family there. If you can get some of those w/o the load, they actually perform pretty well, and have pretty low ERs.
