You obviously hold the fund and know more than me re. RWGFX and RWGIX. Morningstar shows inception in late 2010. Is the fact sheet performance information then based on the manager's track record before being offered to the public. And isn't that the point. That when an institutional manager with a great track opens a fund to the public........ It looks like it did well the first two years it was open to the public (the new fund effect) and then subpar vs its benchmark. It has made money for sure but isn't this just another example of passive beating active?Certainly the last 3 years have been subpar. But Rolfe's selective approach to equities isn't always going to be aligned with the overall market. Their 10 yr return still holds up due to their outperformance in 2009.
You can peruse longer term returns (~25 years) for the overall strategy on the fact sheet posted on their institutional site.
Wedgewood Fact Sheet
FYI - ARTHX was not even Yockey's until he took it over from Barry Dargan in 2013. Yes, I know what M* says, but Yockey was not in charge of the fund prior to Mr. Dargan leaving Artisan.ARTWX - WTF is wrong with it I don't get. I think it is worst fund YTD in World Stock category. I would have thought it was 3-alarm already.
Marc Yockey has been lame for a while now. I had surmised ARTHX and ARTGX were started to distract people from his ARTIX performance. Now things catching up with him on all fronts. His international picks are sucking wind. Does not help that ARTGX has almost 80% in international.
What is distressing is seeing RWGFX on the list. FAIRX I don't mind.
Please clarify if you mean both funds are keepers or otherwise.As I recall @David_Snowball said something about three bad years in a row being a good indicator that things weren't going to come back. But it seems to me that the fund is performing as advertised. As is RWGFX.
David A. Rolfe, chief investment officer of Wedgewood Partners and manager of the $1.9 billion RiverPark/Wedgewood Fund (RWGFX)
RPXFX has done pretty well, with roughly the same performance as RWGFX although the portfolio is quite different. But what about RiverPark's Small Cap Fund, which was also managed by Mitch Rubin? Its performance was terrible and the fund ended up closing.I owned RWGFX in my Roth IRA. Switched the entire position last year to River Park Large Growth (RPXFX), managed by Mitch Rubin.
I don't think asset base is as much of an issue for large cap funds. According to Morningstar, RWGFX has $1.5 billion under management, concentrated in around 20 stocks, meaning they put an average of $75 million in each holding.I prefer a fund with a small asset base (58 mil), especially given the sudden in-flows into RWGFX. RWGFX is very concentrated.
