Alger, American Century, ClearBridge, Harris, Longleaf, Parnassus and Primecap Look Like M* Winners


Fundster PMs, and the marketers and sales executives who push the PMs' wares, it's time to cross your fingers, especially if you're at Alger, American Century, ClearBridge, Harris, Longleaf, Parnassus or Primecap.

2014 still has just over two months to go, yet Morningstar's Dan Culloton (associate director of active strategies on the manager research team) is already peering into his crystal ball to see which mutual funds (and PM teams) look on track to being in contention for the mutual fund ratings giant's "Fund Manager of the Year" awards in the domestic stock category. (Stay tuned for M* glimpses at possible contenders in the allocation, alternative asset, fixed income, and international equity categories.)

This year's likely domestic stock fund manager of the year nominees (all with M* analyst ratings of gold, silver or bronze, top-quartile performance both year-to-date and over the past decade, and at least one 10-year-plus PM) are:

Patrick Kelly of Alger, for Alger Capital Appreciation;

The American Century team -- which includes Phil Davidson, Michael Liss, Kevin Toney and Brian Woglom -- behind American Century Mid Cap Value;

Richie Freeman of ClearBridge for Legg Mason's ClearBridge Aggressive Growth;

Bill Nygren, Win Murray and Tony Coniaris at Harris Associates, for Oakmark Select;

The team behind Longleaf Partners Small-Cap;

PM Todd Ahlsten and co-PM Ben Allen of Parnassus, for Parnassus Core Equity; and

Primecap Management, for Primecap Odyssey Aggressive Growth, Primecap Odyssey Growth, Primecap Odyssey Stock, Vanguard Capital Opportunity, Vanguard Primecap, and Vanguard Primecap Core.
