    For those who didn't want to pay the Schwab fee, it seems the RiverPark folks have made the Institutional shares somewhat easier to reach if you buy the shares directly from RiverPark.

  • Anyone own RWGFX ?
    I owned RWGFX in my Roth IRA. Switched the entire position last year to River Park Large Growth (RPXFX), managed by Mitch Rubin.
    RPXFX has done pretty well, with roughly the same performance as RWGFX although the portfolio is quite different. But what about RiverPark's Small Cap Fund, which was also managed by Mitch Rubin? Its performance was terrible and the fund ended up closing.
    Ideally I would want a fund that is not too large, but also not too small to be unsustainable. RPXFX performance is similar to RWGFX, but has fallen way behind in attracting assets for some reason. I don't think its in danger of closing, but I'm sure the managers would prefer to be in at least the $100m+ range. And as I mentioned in my other post, a large cap fund can easily have billions in assets without noticeably affecting its strategy.
  • Anyone own RWGFX ?
    I owned RWGFX in my Roth IRA. Switched the entire position last year to River Park Large Growth (RPXFX), managed by Mitch Rubin. I prefer a fund with a small asset base (58 mil), especially given the sudden in-flows into RWGFX. RWGFX is very concentrated.
