Three Reasons to Consider Pace Fund
  1. A Turn-around Worth Noting
    On June 30, 2004, Dennis Lynch and the U.S. Growth team assumed management of Van Kampen Pace Fund. Since taking over the fund, the team has generated impressive absolute and relative performance returns, placing the fund in the top quartile of its Morningstar peer group for the period since the takeover*.

  2. Experienced Management Team**
    The U.S. Growth team manages the fund. Current members of the team include Dennis Lynch, David Cohen, Sam Chainani and Alexander Norton.
  3. A Proven Process and Strategy
    The team's belief is that value-added investment results can be achieved more consistently through bottom-up analysis and judgment than through top-down forecasting. Through focused stock selection, they set about exploiting systematic market inefficiencies by making long-term investments in what they consider to be high-quality companies with sustainable competitive advantages and a favorable return-on-invested-capital trend.

Past performance is not guarantee of future results.
