A minor nitpick ... Prof. Snowball writes that PRWCX is " (b) closed tight." Elsewhere (in discussing closed funds) he has noted that there are ways to get into some of these funds. Specifically, that T. Rowe Price Summit Select investors (those with over $250K at TRP) have access to PRWCX. And existing investors can add to their accounts.Professor Snowball wrote an article about PRCFX in the December MFO issue.

ProspectusThe fund is currently closed to all purchases from new and existing shareholders. Even investors who already hold shares of the fund either directly with T. Rowe Price or through a retirement plan or financial intermediary may no longer purchase additional shares.
According to the rep, a fund may have its own fee (as underlined above) and it may also "revoke" its "waiver" of a $49.95 fee. I called back, read the text above to the rep, and he reiterated this.Short-term trading fee: Fidelity charges a short-term trading fee each time you sell or exchange shares of a FundsNetwork NTF fund held less than 60 days. This fee does not apply to [Fidelity funds, TF funds, etc.] In addition, Fidelity reserves the right to exempt other funds from this fee, such as funds designed to achieve their stated objective on a short-term basis.
Keep in mind that the short-term trading fee charged by Fidelity on FundsNetwork NTF funds is different and separate from a short-term redemption fee assessed by the fund itself.
GRPM was an equal-weight 400 fund until the last six months, or so. So not much track record on the new strategy. The stats at M* seem to be from the previous flavor. And M* doesn't seem to note the recent change. But I have missed stuff like that before.It is a valid strategy and the term was popular for a while.
Now, there are 2 ETFs with GARP in their names - SP500 GARP SPGP and SP MC 400 GARP GRPM. Of course the ERs are higher than the regular SP500 or SP MC 400 funds.
