This fund took the alternative avenue:

While the fund is closed to new investors, since you already have a position in the fund, you should be able to open a new account in a taxable account provided that you can demonstrate you own the shares by submitting a rec…

SEQUX is $5K for taxable account; $2,500 for non-taxable account. Would not buy SEQUX for taxable account due to potential amount of capital gain exposure; I hold SEQUX in my non-taxable account. One pitfall is paying annual $12 maintanence fee fo…

FWIW, it appears to be the same management team except that the sub-advisor will become the investment advisor. If you are interested in the fund and if there any changes, you will be probably be grandfathered from the changes (exam…
I prefer the Quaker Event Arbitrage Fund (QEAAX). I held the Pennsylvania Avenue Event Driven Fund (PAEDX) with Thomas Kirchner prior to the reorganization with Quaker. Shareholders of PAEDX prior to reorganization were grandfathered from paying f…

Question, if some one buys the Bruce Fund in one of the remaining 48 states, and moves to Texas or Nebraska, what happens next? Does the Bruce Fund close you position out, do you have to sell your fund or will the fund not accept anymore optional c…

Funny you should mention Van Wagoner. I bought into several of his funds when they first became available, because of his stellar performance with Govett Small Company Fund and made some money. Problem was I held on to …

I found out that there are a limited number of brokerages that sell Omni funds. For example Wells Fargo Advisors does not, but TDA, and some others do sell it (I believe there are 6 or 7 total). Not willing to pay for bro…

Have you been tempted to open an account with Bridgeway to increase your BRUSX holdings? Initially, I purchased BRMCX shares in taxable brokerage account when BRMCX reopened; I purchased some additional BRMCX taxable acco…
I also hold BRUSX and BRAGX from the reorganization of the micro-cap limted fund and re-opening, respectively. Continue to put money into BRUSX monthly since I hold it with Bridgeway.

Reply to @catch22: You are correct about the load. On April 1, 2013, FPA did away with the loads on all of their funds (only Crescent did not have a load).
I own FPACX and FPPTX with FPA directly. Bought FPPTX before it closed a second time with…
I own FRMCX, which has been closed for some time, in a taxable account. Also own AUMIX and AVALX in non-taxable accounts; BRSIX and PVFIX in taxable accounts. BRSIX (is more like a small cap index fund) and PVFIX (slow and steady performer with a …

Reply to @kevindow: I purchased AUMIX and AMCIX in my non-taxable account some time ago for no minimum at TDA. Unfortunately, neither fund compares to my BRUSX which I received from the BRMCX/BRUSX reorganization.
Here is a copy of the mass email (same as PDF above) I received fron Grandeur Peaks:
Dear Fellow Shareholder,
