Review of my retirement portfolio - FCNTX

FCNTX is in my investment portfolio for the past three years. I am satisifed with overall risk and performance. Expense ratio is below 1.0 (one of the requirements for my portfolio). Annual Turnover is well below 100%.

This Fund was closed in March 2006. Though Fund closing is good for existing shareholders as it could stabilize the cash flows and improve its performance, a Morning Star study about fund closings and performance found that the performance detroriates after the closing. As of now, I am going to hold on to this fund because I believe in Will Danoff's consistent investing strategy.
