- The manger of Oakmark is Robert Sanborn, and is a five-year veteran
- portfolio manager at Harris Associates. Sanborn is a value investor,
- keeps the PE low, and is said to be fairly defensive. I think Oakmark's
- cash level is rising these days, and I read that he was backing out
- of the small caps. He also has 70% of his "liquid net worth" in Oakmark.
- The only slight hitch is that they require a signature guarantee
- for any size redemption, which is a minor pain.
-
- Ralph Wagner, manager of Acorn, took Acorn fund with him when he left Harris
- last summer.
