Investments à la Carte Four Picks for the Present Mutual Fund: Fidelity Municipal Income FHIGX Category Muni National Long Asset Allocation Cash US Stock Non US Stock Bond Other Investment Style 8 Medium Long Total Rtn Since Inception 6.52% Total Assets $5.3 billion Expenses 0.46% Turnover Ratio 10% –100 –50 0 50 100 This fund has what it takes to handle all types of markets. It’s run by Jamie Pagliocco, who comanaged the fund with Christine Thompson before she became CIO of Fidelity’s bond group in 2010. Pagliocco maintains the same prudent, team-based approach that has produced outstanding long-term returns with below-average volatility across the Fidelity muni-fund lineup. The fund’s emphasis on high-quality, liquid bonds led to a strong defensive showing in downturns such as 2008’s financial crisis and the recent municipal-bond sell-off. But Pagliocco and crew have also made moves that should help it outperform in more favorable climates. Miriam Sjoblom Exchange-Traded Fund: Vanguard Global ex-US Real Estate VNQI Number of Stocks 423 Daily Volume and Closing Price Assets in 10 Largest Holdings 26.8% Expense Ratio 0.35% Number of Countries 36 Top Country 18.7% in Japan Assets $96.1 million 300K 200 100 11/1/10 Daily volume Daily closing price $53 51 49 47 3/1/11 Vanguard’s new global real estate offering is the cheapest and most diversified global real estate ETF on the market. Investors should look into this fund, which offers access to the 70% of the real estate market left out by U.S. REIT funds. International real estate funds have not enjoyed broad acceptance, with total ETF assets slightly under $3 billion, versus close to $17 billion in U.S.-focused ETFs. Unlike U.S. REITs, international real estate companies have not recovered their pre-crisis peaks, leaving them with potentially attractive valuations. Samuel Lee Separate Account: Manning & Napier Core Equity Category 7 Large Growth Asset Allocation Cash US Stock Non US Stock Bond Other Investment Style 7 Large Growth Total Assets $2.202 billion Price/Earnings 17.78 –100 –50 0 50 100 This separate account pretty much does it all. It has outperformed in up markets while also holding up better than nearly all of its large-growth rivals in downdrafts. Its team managed and leverages the same team of proven analysts that supports Manning & Napier’s successful line-up of separate accounts and mutual funds.
