      Morningstar thinks Royce Premier Fund (RYPRX) is in “Good Hands”

      Research Analyst Karin Anderson of Morningstar claims that “in 2008’s choppy markets, Royce Premier Fund (RYPRX) has been a lifeboat” - although the Fund is currently closed to new investors. Anderson writes that Portfolio Managers Chuck Royce and Whitney George “are known for their optimism during bear markets. They hunt for bargains among larger small-cap firms, and over the years, plenty of the fund's picks have been snapped up by bigger competitors.”

      She offers high praise for the Fund’s investment team: “Chuck Royce is one of the best and most experienced small-value managers in the business…Whitney George is a force at the firm…Lauren Romeo assists; she tends to specialize in higher-quality stocks.”

      Anderson concludes her Quicktake Analyst report by warning that although the Fund may lag in the next speculative rally given Royce’s “valuation-cautious tack”, that Royce’s risk-conscious “conviction is exactly why investors are in good hands here.”
