10 Questions With Transamerica's Jeff Van Harte
The growth style is out of favor, but it always makes sense to talk to Jeff Van Harte.
Like just about all of his peers, Van Harte's (TEQUX Quote)Transamerica Premier Equity fund had about 50 cents of every dollar in tech stocks in 1999. But unlike most of his competitors, he didn't ride all of the tech faves down as they buckled beneath the weight of an economic downturn, outlandish expectations and thin-air valuations. He bit the bullet in 2000, taking profits in tech holdings that triggered a big capital gain, but avoided the eye-popping losses posted by many growth managers.
