"Aggressive growth managers did very well generally in this survey, since that investing style has been in favor for the past few years," Robinson said. "But for Winslow to be ranked higher than any other aggressive growth manager - that's a terrific confirmation of the tremendous growth opportunities in green investing."

The Value Line survey screened more than 3,444 equity mutual funds, eliminating those with more than two lead managers, as well as managers with less than three years' tenure. Value Line then organized the survey by investment objective, cutting sector funds and offerings with less than $100 million in assets. Only 505 managers finally qualified to be ranked.

Winslow Management, the adviser to the Fund, attributes a great deal of its success to its thorough research methods that integrate environmental and financial analysis. The firm specializes in small-cap growth investing Growth Investing

A strategy whereby an investor seeks out stocks with what they deem good growth potential. In most cases a growth stock is defined as a company whose earnings are expected to grow at an above-average rate than its industry or the overall market.
 and focuses on clean sectors such as software and healthcare technology, as well as green sectors such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, organic food production and distribution, and green construction. Winslow's strategy is to find hidden opportunities among the small companies in these market niches - companies that appear poised for rapid growth, or companies whose stocks are unrecognized by the broader market.

Managers in the Barron's / Value Line survey were scored based on how much risk-adjusted value they added relative to others with the same Value Line investment objective. "The fact that Value Line and Barron's considered risk-adjusted value for their survey is appropriate," Robinson said. "Investors in the Winslow Green Growth Fund have always seen a certain amount of short-term volatility due to our investing style, and it's important that anyone looking at the Fund consider whether we're adding enough value to justify that volatility."
