Mairs & Power Growth, a quaint fund with an excellent long-term record, is the newest member of the Kiplinger 25, the annual list of our favorite no-load funds, taking the place of BBH Core Select, which closed to new investors late in 2012.
Managers William Frels and Mark Henneman look for well-managed companies -- of all sizes -- with growing businesses that are trading at attractive prices. What makes this St. Paul-based firm distinctive is its local flavor. Two-thirds of its assets are in Minnesota-based firms such as its three biggest holdings: 3M, Valspar and Target.
