Also look at EMNAX. It's a 130/30 product that instead of going to cash they use leverage and inverse ETFs returns are straight absurd
I met with a guy from good harbor that had a similar strategy that is quite impressive. They offer 3 allocations:
All fixed(not cash)
50/50
All equity ( some leveraged)

You can buy A-shares without loads
Couldn't find break point/ Class A load waived qualifications for VAPAX ANYWHERE on your link. You can buy shitty C shares without a load, but then you get a nice fat 2.46% expense and a CDSC.

I've done plenty of due dilli on this dog shite you're pitching, and nothing has lead me to believe there is anything special enough about this fund to warrant its' expense.

I have provided the below link. Should have everything you want/need.
Searched that link high and low, listened to the sales pitches, found no proof WHATSOEVER that this fund (or this fund's managers) timed the market as you claimed in 2007, 2008, etc... NONE. Either I'm sleepy and I just can't see it, or you're full of shite.

good harbor has very good strategies the only thing that scares me is that they only rebalance monthly....innealta has some good tactical strategies as well

Janky, a few weeks ago you recommended YACKX to me. Do you stand by that? I want to invest into one that I can forget about for a while.

Yes, YACKX is a staple in my portfolios. It is one of the few all equity funds I own. That doesn't mean it won't go down if this pullback intensifies, but I have complete faith in Donald Yacktman.

I really like them as well. We have been using them for a few years.

I won't start the process of bugging the hell out of you again but what exactly does "all equity fund" mean?

Not a problem at all. Feel free to ask whatever you would like.

It means the fund holds only equity/stock positions, no fixed/bond positions.

I like Good Harbor as well. We use them quite a bit as a swing man.
Only rebalancing once a month seems like a drawback but they need a consistent repeatable process or it starts to look too much like market timing.
Also you can't run a momentum based strategy on too short of a time period as you get whipsawed too much by noise.

Disclaimer:
Though I do beleive latge mutual funds like ABALX are essentially indexed because of the size of the fund, I think it is a very effective way to invest for the average investor.
That being said...
Why has the fund performed so well? I'm looking for a solid fund that has relatively low AUM and more focused positions versus the closet index mega-funds.
ETA: I don't beleive I'm able to purchase, even though I'm in the finacial services industry. Correct me if I'm wrong?

I believe it is becasue he buys good companies at a very deep discount and waits for it to work out. The fund has a very, very low turnover rate. Other than that, I am not sure why it has performed so well.

Here's my guess, probably because Donald Yacktman is focused more on performance than most managers due to his personal stake in the fund (plus he's got like 50 years of experience). He outworks most of the other big names in the industry. And his son Stephen Yacktman, is every bit as sharp and will take over the fund when Donald retires (which may be another 20 years).
Hope I get to meet these guys one day.
