Net Outflows: $6.3 billion

It's easy to see why investors are redeeming their shares in this fund. Its huge asset base and poor stock selection have caused it to beat the index in only two of the past six years. Moreover, Harry Lange's early lead versus the index this year turned quickly into a deficit when the markets pounded tech and Japanese stocks in the second quarter. For the year to date, the fund is up just 0.8%, while the S&P has returned 5%. On the plus side, Lange's tenure here has been too brief to draw any conclusions, and the fund's outflows have the fund down to a more manageable $44 billion. So, I'm more bullish on this fund than I have been in a while, but I still wouldn't buy.
