I happen to really like Undiscovered Managers Behavioral Growth, Matthews Pacfic Tiger and Whitshire Large Cap growth funds. Alex, these would be good recommendations for your teenage daughters. At Fidelity the managers come and go frequently. Virgil, that is really bad. We recommend hiring people, not revolving doors.
Fidelity tends to move their good managers around to help the floundering ones.
We look for a compensation that rewards long term performance, not short term performance. You may want to look at SSGA, MOntogomery and Matthews Pacific Tiger. They have had good returns and fit my criteria for a good fund. That last one was for Tony. Deena, what is your view of load vs. no-load funds.
