The sharp pullback in high-flying tech shares has taken a big chunk out of the key indexes, however the rotation underneath the market’s floor has thrust some long-quiet worth funds into market management.

Eli Salzmann, a portfolio supervisor at Neuberger Berman, mentioned the previous decade was a “lonely” one for worth fund managers, even for relative winners like his Massive Cap Worth Fund, which has dramatically outperformed its class and benchmark over the previous 5 years.

This yr, Salzmann’s fund is trouncing almost everybody. Its investor class shares have been up 17.8% yr so far as of Monday’s shut, based on Morningstar, outpacing the S&P 500 by greater than 16 share factors and the class common by greater than 8 share factors. The fund’s robust begin to the yr improved its profile with the analysis firm, the place the fund’s Morningstar ranking rose to five stars from 4 based mostly on outcomes by the top of February.
