Investing like the PRO's

Haveing the same sucess as famous investors is not hard at all, you just need the information and a litttle bit of luck. The trouble is trying to find these people and see how they invest and the strategies they use. In that case we will research for you. According to Morningstar's 2009 manager of the year awards, Charlie Dreifus was manager of the year in 2008. He manages Royce's Special Equity Investment fund, a domestic equity fund that has been ranked as a 5-star fund for years.

So,what does he do to have so much sucess?

Dreifus website shows how he invests his money, also you need to consider that his portfolio has above normal returns with very miniture risk.. In fact, Dreifus has been holding a portfolio of small-cap value investments. This means these are among the smallest firms that trade on an organized exchange and they are considered undervalued in terms of price.


While many might scoff at the fact that Dreifus does not invest in dividend paying financial services firms (not even small cap value financial services firms), his track record speaks for itself. Again, his choice of funds has earned his portfolio a "low risk" ranking among its peers while simultaneously achieving above-average returns. How many investors can claim the same? (Very few indeed).

It is very obvious, then, that to invest like the pros who have achieved tremendous success in their industry, one nearly needs to know where to find information about these pros are investing. A single website can provide that information: Morningstar.com, which ranks mutual funds (and names its top performing fund managers). But most importantly and interestingly, this website will list the top 25 holdings in each of the funds it covers. This not only takes the guess work out of where one should invest his or her money, but how they can achieve success easily without taking on unnecessary risks.
