Boutique fund shops are dominating the international stock fund sector. Or so one would think when looking at the five nominees chosen by Morningstar this morning for the International-Stock Fund Manager of the Year Award.

The largest mutual fund shop with a PM on the nominee list is Invesco [profile]. Sub-advisor specialist Harbor Funds [profile] also had a PM make the cut as did IPO-bound Artisan Partners [profile]. AMG affiliate Tweedy Browne [profile] also made the list, as did Wintegreen Advisors [profile].

Morningstar's nominees are:

David Samra, Dan O'Keefe, Artisan International Value (ARTKX) and Artisan Global Value (ARTGX)

Jim LaTorre, Ted Wendell, Howard Appleby, Jean-Francois Ducrest, Harbor International (HAINX)

Steve Cao, Jason Holzer, Borge Endresen, Invesco International Small Company (IEGAX)

William Browne, John Spears, Tom Shrager, Bob Wyckoff, Tweedy, Browne Global Value (TBGVX)

David Winters, Wintergreen (WGRNX)
