Baron Small Cap is a small-company stock fund and a member of the Kiplinger 25. Cliff Greenberg likes small, growing companies with smart managers and competitive advantages -- and he won't pay a premium for their stocks. That often leads him to out-of-favor, occasionally obscure firms, such as Acacia Research (ACTG).

Visit Kiplinger's Model Portfolios for three examples of how you can put Kiplinger 25 funds to work. The portfolios are designed for investors with differing time horizons and levels of risk tolerance. If you find them too aggressive, cut back each basket's allocation to stocks by ten percentage points. If you're investing in a taxable account, replace one or more of the bond funds with Fidelity Intermediate Municipal Income (FLTMX).
