@VintageFreak,
While George Schipp manages the Sterling Capital Special Opportunities Fund, the bigger question will be will Sterling allow an exchange from one grandfathered Stratton Fund, which will be an "I" class fund, to another Sterling "I" c…

I noticed the spillback information prior to the CG information being posted. I am glad I don't have to deal with the accounting for that.
Years ago I held Fairholme. After I filed my taxes, months later, I received an amended tax 1099…

The reorganization is suppose to occur around 11/16/15 as per this filing, http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/889284/000119312515299132/d11216d497.htm
Personally, I have footholds or at least meet the required minimum investments in PRWCX, JANIX (non-taxable account) and PRHSX as well as some others.
While I hold all three Primecap Odyssey Funds since I cannot purchase VPCCX and VHCAX, I would e…

@Valet,
The GainTrain, myself and others are just trying to keep up with the number of mutual funds in your database. I do enjoy your "In the Doghouse!" feature.
@InformalEconomist
Subscribers have until 10/30 (had until 10/30 when submitted their subscriptions) to act upon their allotment so I suspect more people are in the pipeline to do so. I transferred my money in on 10/20, but had thoughts about wait…
@briboe69
Congratulations! That was partially the reason why I initially called GP was to make sure my email address was legible and correct since I scanned it into a PDF file then emailed it. My handwriting is not the best.
I received my full …
@briboe69
I believe it may have been based on the first name, but I am not positive. GP individual told me a story that they received a telephone call and was told the same thing by a subscriber about not hearing anything about their subscription.…
I just called GP (not the transfer agent). Emails are going out alphabetically to those subscribers awarded allotments. It is a slow process, but emails will be going out during the evening, probably even late to all awarded subscribers.
@LLJB
The other global micro cap fund is ALPS | Metis Global Micro Cap Fund with A, C, and I classes.

@LLJB
I agree with you. My reasons for subscribing were:
1. There is only one other Global Micro Cap Fund (with a load) besides GP's fund;
2. This is going to be a growth oriented micro cap fund; there are not many established micro cap funds wit…

While it is still early in the game (August 31 estimates), I would like to see many more of the MF links with later estimate dates posted prior to putting into a drop down. I have some type of game plan posted in the CG link. David and o…
@little5bee
The primary reason I am going to open my account with GP (besides my other four accounts are there) is that once I fund my initial Global Micro Cap position allotment, I am going to initiate a systematic investment plan. If I don't ini…
@little5bee
Call one of the three parties named on the second page of the subscription for questions. I am sure any of three of them will be able to help you.
The fund that is reopening is the American Beacon Stephens Small Cap Growth Fund, which was closed to new investors, subject to certain exceptions on September 16, 2013 and February 14, 2014. Effective September 22, 2015, the Fund will resume offer…
When I called the transfer agent to have them email me the subscription offering form at work, they asked for the usual verification questions (account number with GP, SSN, confirmed my bank account number). Once I verified all their questions, the…
Regarding the global micro cap fund, a 9/1/15 email from Mark Siddoway regarding the Stalwarts funds opening indicated:
"Details of the Global Micro Cap Fund launch will be emailed
to Grandeur Peak shareholders in the next few months. Our

@Ted
After looking at the 7/29/15 prospectus, there is no mention in it that the Tweedy, Browne Global Value Fund II - Currency Unhedged is closed. That is why the supplement, dated 7/29/15 indicates that the fund is closed.
Too bad it was not i…

@msf
I thought it was strange that the supplement as of 7/29/15 is in addition to the prospectus dated 7/29/15.
