Report
Wish I had discovered them 20 years ago! The Baron Funds are high performing funds that beat their relative indices OVER TIME! Fees are a little higher than most actively managed funds but the net performance warrants them. They are long term investors and do not churn. I look forward to their quarterly mailings which offer GREAT market and stock insight.
