the Hermes Managed Fund, managed by Arthur Karas, is the leading fund over five 
years with a rolling performance of 92.15%. It is extraordinary that despite this 
performance, this hidden gem is still relatively small with assets under 
management of R33.3 million.

remaining true to mandate and which ones had caught the speculative bug. 
The 'true blue' value fund managers had performance rankings in the doldrums, 
while the others had more respectable performances. Now, however, post market 
capitulation, the tables have turned.</description><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.intervest.co.za/article_2164.html</guid><pubDate>Tue, 10 Mar 2009 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Update on a perennial favourite: The Allan Gray Equity Fund</title><link>http://www.intervest.co.za/article_2142.html</link><description>The Allan Gray Equity Fund attracts a lot of attention, not merely because it
