Solid bars represent the offering’s net exposure, and the clear bars show long and short exposure.

This separate account is from a new firm started by David Marcus, who had successful stints at Mutual Series in the 1990s and more recently at a hedge fund and a family trust. Its strategy and manager are proven. Marcus and comanager Jae Chung, formerly of Davis Advisors, are contrarians, but they’re hardly cigar-butt investors. They look for cheap

firms where they see near-term catalysts to unlock value, including mergers, spinoffs, restructurings, etc. They invest across the capital structure and have a strong record with distressed debt and convertible bonds. This may not wedge perfectly into one section of the Morningstar Style Box, but it holds merit for those valuing diversification. Michael Breen

Investors seeking higher-yielding equities not well-represented in standard indexes or tactical investors eyeing midstream energy could use this fund to invest in pipeline companies through publicly traded master limited partnership units concentrated in transporting natural gas and petroleum liquids such as oil. Energy MLPs pay current yields

exceeding those of most utilities, and investors will enjoy lower volatility because most revenue is tied to volume, making the profits generally more stable than underlying commodity prices. AMJ tracks the small-captilted Alerian MLP Index of 50 prominent energy MLPs, and the index is screened for the highest yields. Bob Goldsborough

This fine fund is down but far from out. It’s posted a double-digit loss so far in 2010 and lags nearly all its rivals. It’s got a much bigger stake in Europe than most and has been stung by stakes in such banks as HSBC HBC and BNP Paribas BNP, which have been hit by the European debt crisis. But manager Mark Yockey isn’t panicking. He thinks both are

market leaders with strong balance sheets that will come out of the most recent crisis even stronger. As indicated by the fund’s strong long-term record, Yockey’s been right much more than not over time. This fund remains a winner. Michael Breen
