*CGM Focus (CGMFX) replaces Royce Premier/Inv (RYPRX) during 2005 mid-year review.
**Closed to new investors on April 15, 2004. ***Tamarack Micro Cap Value Fund was originally recommended when it was the Babson Shadow Stock Fund (SHSTX). Since recommendation, the fund has been converted into a multi-class fund. Shareholders of the fund prior to the conversion are able to purchase additional shares without a load; new shareholders must purchase a class of shares that carry a load. Since we don't recommend funds carrying loads for this portfolio, we consider it closed to new shareholders. Data as of 6/30/2005. Sources: S&P Micropal, RiskGrades.com. |
