DESCRIPTION:

Date updated:01-08-2008

The Quaker Strategic Growth Fund is managed by Manu Daftary. He has been listed as one of the top 20 money managers by Barron's Magazine for five years in a row. He has also beaten the S&P 500 index for 8 years in a row, putting him behind only Bill Miller for the money manager who has beat the index for the most consecutive years in a row. That streak is coming to an end this year, and Daftary was interviewed in the December 18 2006 issue of Barrons.

In the article he is quoted as saying “If I don’t beat the S&P next year, I’d say it was nice knowing you”

Morningstar gives the fund 4 stars, but it is often chided on its unusually high fees at 5.5% of initial investments and a 1.90% expense ration. That said, the fund still has an excellent track record over the past 10 years, having return an annualized 17.94%.

Current Returns:

1-Year: 31.33%
3-Year: 17.00%
5-Year: 18.53%
