Met West Total Return Bond Fund, was one of these 5 star Morningstar funds that I spend my retired time to find. No one really knew about it except a few investors.
It consistantly equalled the 5 star Pimco Total Return Funds's performance and in some quarters out performed the Pimco funds. Then at the end of last summer, its returns and daily value started to slip. I put it on a watch list.
We decided to sell my wife's shares in November last year due to this wierd performance versus similiar funds. The day that I put in the sell order, the data that they had hired Goron as a phoney advisor came out. It was clear to me that the biggies and the retirement fund managers had an early warning on this and were selling the fund before Goron came in. This was driving down the NAV on the fund.
Any company or fund that is in bed with RATS is a company to be avoided and dumped if you own shares.
Liberty Asset Management Company
It's like a closed-end fund, symbol "USA".
