Fund Closed to New Investors

#1
What is your best fund that has been closed to new investors.
Even though the fund is closed it can still be harvested for new ideas;
 
One of my three Funds FCPGX just got closed to new investors.     This does not surprise me;
 
If a fund grows too big (attracts too much capital) it loses its ability to function
---its cannot execute its strategy
---It might move the market with money flow
 
I have sort of noticed that some of "the best funds" I have identified for potential buys tend to be closed to new investors.
That where a tool such as "trading baskets" or "Motif" would really be useful.
 
Here Morningstar is showing you what the fund added in the near-past.   I think this is really useful in finding new ideas.

POAGX, which has become my largest, and favorite, fund.

FDGRX and OAKIX. I moved some out of FDIVX to OAKIX just before OAKIX was closed, and have subsequently bought more. Glad I did. FDGRX I've been in ' forever.'

JATTX is my main "closed after I was inside" holding.  I'm amazed (and saddened) by the number of Fidelity low cap funds that have closed, but I understand the logic.
 
Since they are closed "to new investors" if you have a friend who has some shares, perhaps he could transfer a few to you to get you inside the door.

RPMGX which closed to new investors several years ago. I have owned it for over 22 years. My average annual return as of Friday (5-11) was 12.22%. (TRowe Price website updates returns on one's holdings everyday, both total and by holding.) It is my largest mutual fund holding.

I am glad to get into these funds before they closed:
- RPMGX - TRP MidCap Growth
- POAGX - Primecap Odyssey Aggresive Growth
- PRIDX - TRP International Discovery
- PRWCX - TRP Capital Appreciation ****** The Best ******
- GPGOX - Grandeur Peak global reach

I was unable to get into TRMCX (TRP Mid Cap Value fund before they closed in 2010), but then I cannot complain, as I was fortunate to get into others.
