Lean and Mean Large-Cap FundsIn the listing of about 20 "Lean & Mean: funds, Ms Andereon included Jennison 20/20 Focus. The fund has a front load of 5.5% and annual expense rate of 1.18%. This does not fit my definition of Lean and Mean. No Load & annual expenses of 1.0% or less seems more like it.
Jennison 20/20 Focus.has enjoyed an excellent track record and is five star rated. But is it worth the addded fees? I certainly don't consider it Lean & Mean when compared with the other funds recommended in the article.http://socialize.morningstar.com/NewSocialize/blogs/Kalamazookid/atom.aspxCommunity Server2008-02-28T09:06:19ZLean and Mean Large-Cap Funds http://socialize.morningstar.com/NewSocialize/blogs/Kalamazookid/archive/2008/02/28/Lean-and-Mean-Large_2D00_Cap-Funds-.aspx2008-02-28T15:06:20Z2008-02-28T15:06:20Z<p>In the listing of about 20 "Lean & Mean: funds, Ms Andereon included Jennison 20/20 Focus.
