Barrons Roundtable: John Neff

Description:

John Neff is known as the manager of the Vanguard Windsor Fund from which he recently retired. He is a hard-core value investor, looking to buy good companies with moderate growth and high dividends while out of favour, and selling once they rise to fair value. Neff is regarded as 'the professional's professional', because many fund managers entrusted their money to him in the belief that it would be in safe hands. That view was justified by his remarkably consistent performance. For more than 30 years, the Windsor Fund routinely featured in the top 5 percent of all US mutual funds.

From Barrons Roundtable 1-22-07:

"John Neff, like Archie a consummate value investor, rounds out this week's stock- picking session. Both, as it turns out, are recommending Lyondell Chemical, which affords an opportunity to study how two savvy investors approach the same company. John retired some years back from the helm of the Vanguard Windsor Fund, but his eye is on the ball more than ever these days -- and on land-driller Nabors and his old friend Citigroup."
