789.0. "Microcap fund investing" by POBOX::CORSON (Higher, and a bit more to the right) Wed Nov 16 1994 14:35

    
    	I'm seriously considering moving some funds into a microcap
    mutual fund. 
    
    	Considering several including Heartland Value and Loomis Sayles
    Small Cap.
    
    	My major concern is that the larger the fund the more capital
    appreciation seems to match Russell 2000 growth curves. Am I headed
    in the right direction, or what?
    
    	Goal is 18-20% annual return over next ten years, and this is
    considered by me to be moderate to high risk money. Thanks.

789.1Small Cap Closed-End FundsDPDMAI::KNOWLESRandy dtn-483-4231Thu Dec 29 1994 14:3916
         
         I have been reading about a Closed-End mutual fund called 
         Royce OTC Micro-Cap (O:OTCM)(800-221-4268) which seems to be 
         managed by one of the best Value Stock Pickers, Charles Royce.  
         The investment objective is to seek long-term capital 
         appreciation by investing in small, cash-rich, over-the-counter 
         securities.  I have read several magazines which have 
         recommended this fund.  Do you have any suggestions, and what 
         would be the down side to using closed-end funds?
         
         Several other Dual-Purpose Closed-End mutual funds are selling 
         at a discount that might be of interest.  They are Quest for 
         Value (N:KFV) and Gemini II Capital (N:GMI).  They convert back 
         to Open funds in Jan 1997 and so their NAV will be the true 
         Value at that time.
