Funds ride tiny companies to big gains

It's been a happy half year for micro-cap funds that invest in small technology companies. Micro-caps are firms with market capitalization below $300 million.

The Schroder Micro Cap fund is up 80 percent, the highest of any domestic-stock fund for the first half of 2000. And Kopp Emerging Growth, which had most of its portfolio in technology, was up 54 percent.

But micro-caps weren't the only winners. Mid-cap growth and small-cap growth funds also made impressive strides thanks to heavy technology investments, according to Chicago-based fund-tracker Morningstar Inc. Most large-cap value funds, however, have been hammered with losses this year.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
