Speaking of sticking one's head in the sand, I stumbled on this interview with a fund manager <excerpt> Q: How have your growth funds been holding up? A: We just hit our five-year anniversary on the funds, and both the Transamerica Premier Growth Opportunities (Nasdaq:TPSCX - News) and the Transamerica Premier Aggressive Growth (Nasdaq:TPAGX - News) funds strongly outperformed their peers and the market as a whole. For example, TPAGX compounded 11.22% per year over the past five years, vs. 3.6% for the S&P 500. Q: What is the difference between the two funds? A: There is some overlap in names held, but clearly TPAGX is more "growth-y" and an all-cap fund, while TPSCX can hold more stable and smaller businesses. Q: For full disclosure, what are the one- and three-year returns for TPAGX? A: I don't have one-year at my fingertips. Trailing three years is -11%, vs. -9.3% for the S&P 500. Q: Is Morningstar accurate in stating the one-year return is -32.69% for TPAGX? A: Morningstar data are good, depending upon how updated their period is.
