Tagged: Slow and steady has been a solid investing strategy for John Buckingham, manager of Al Frank Value Fund. Momentum works just fine when everything's rosy, but when the music stops, that's when the enormous losses come," Buckingham said. "We play the tortoise to the hare."
Buckingham's value-focused stock fund (VALUX) was up 5.8% over the 12 months through Monday versus a 4.7% rise for the average midcap value fund, according to fund researcher Lipper Inc. The fund's 10.6% three-year annualized gain is on par with its peers' 10.8% average return.
