Fund Holdings
Mid-cap companies usually make up about 75 percent of the fund’s total assets compared with only 60 percent, on average, for the mid-cap blend category. Zerhusen says she generally sticks with companies with market caps between $1 billion and $12 billion, and will usually sell if a company creeps into large-cap territory. Most of her picks also have significant foreign operations—40 percent of the fund’s holdings have 50 percent or more of their revenues coming from outside the United States, according to Zerhusen. “We didn’t pick them that way, but [the companies] are not only doing well in this country, but a lot of them are also doing very well outside.” The fund tends to remain fairly concentrated at around 40 names.
