Each category of funds has a retail and institutional class. For example, Group A has the retail class and the I-class. It appears the first table of funds in each group is the retail class while the second table in each group is the I-clas…
The fund is still closed to new investors.
From their website:

I just checked and as of the January 31, 2022 filing date, VPPCX has already been closed.
If it was opened, I would have bought it today. This is one of those funds I wish would re-open to new investors.

Possibly the Chestnut Street Exchange Fund (CHNTX) and/or BlackRock Exchange Portfolio (STSEX) for a retirement account.
Brown Capital Management Small Company Fund (BCSIX , BCSSX) would be nice also.

As dstone42 stated, having a brokerage account for estate purposes is definitely a benefit so your heirs do not have to spend time trying to locate everything.
Most of my holdings are with the fund families/transfer agent. For example, a newly opened/closed fund may be restricted with a brokerage, but not with the family that opened/closed the fund.
I continue to own FPA Queens Road Small Cap Value (formerly FPA Capital Fund) and Crescent Funds since the 90s. I did have a problem with my account regarding a returned statement since it was misdelivered and returned to sender so my account was l…
Take a look at FLNG or Flex LNG. Pays $.75 quarterly dividend and will be paying a $.50 one time dividend.

My guess is since the fund is not covered by a M* analyst, the fund information is not up to date.
From that webpage:
This fund is not currently covered by a Morningstar analyst.
I switched my Vanguard account a couple of months after delaying the switch to the brokerage platform. A VG rep called me at work early one morning while on another call. While they did not call me at home, they are planning when and where to call…
The OP discussed HMEZX, a merger type fund, which is quite different from that of RPHIX. I selected a comparable fund, MERFX, which by coincidence, I have owned for numerous years.
You can see the returns here for MERFX since its inception:

I agree with @LewisBraham. Two very distinct funds. RPHIX does not have many comps except either Crossingbridge's Low Duration High Yield Fund or Ultra Short Duration Fund, both of which have the same manager with different fund families. HMEZX w…
Sadly VVPSX was one of the top funds cited in the October 3, 2021 WSJ article, "Big Hasn’t Been the Best for Fund Investors." VVPSX was second for the quarterly ranking for twelve months.
I bought into the small cap fund in August of last year (it is closed to new investors, but I had an existing position in a retirement account) not realizing that the size of year-end distributions. The fund has never recovered from the 2021 distri…

As I just post items as I find them for everyone's benefit whether it be good or bad (I am not offended by any of the comments above), I agree with your comment concerning this ETF.
The filing was submitted early/mid-July. May take a little…
