  Robert J. Sanborn of Oakmark Fund.
  ...
  You can't help but feel your money's in safe hands talking to Robert Sanborn, manager of the no-load Oakmark Fund, one of the top two Growth Fund SuperStars, with about $4 billion in total assets.In a day when many fund managers turnover their entire portfolios annually, Sanborn convincingly articulates Oakmark's strategic role - not as a gunslinger who's buying paper stocks in companies that he'll trade at will - but much like a hands-on owner, a working partner or a venture capitalist, someone totally committed for the long-haul to the businesses they're putting your money in. Turnover's a scant 24%.Beta's a modest 0.85.Expenses are under 1.15%.And 3-year returns are about 27.4%, just slightly under the S&P 500.Solid success.My conversation with Sanborn reminded me of my days in the First Marine Air Wing.He's got the confidence of a top gun pilot and the lasered precision of a flight engineer.He makes you feel your future's on target with the Oakmark team.
  
  PBF: What's your investment philosophy at Oakmark Fund?RJS: Oakmark was the first fund we started in August 1991.It is an offshoot of an investment philosophy that we had deployed in our separate account business and which we still have since 1976.So we started in 1991 and everything we do here, fits in five investment guidelines. Number one is: Buy at a market price that's a significant discount to underlying value, the underlying business value being defined as what a rational businessperson would pay for the entire business with the intent of owning it forever and with perfect knowledge of the business.And we like to buy low for that price and we sell high for that price.Do these five points apply to all of your funds?

  That sort of talk exasperates Robert Sanborn, the once famous manager of the Oakmark Fund.Lately the mid-cap value stocks he favors have been hopelessly out of sync with a market besotted with large-cap growth stocks.But the market will change, sooner or later, as it always has.And so it`s only a matter of time, Sanborn is convinced, before active managers like him are vindicated.The question I get is, `What are you going to do to get the performance up?` Well, I`m not going to `do` anything different.I`m not going to bend on my philosophy.I`m not going to buy overvalued stocks in hopes they become more overvalued. A principled attitude, perhaps, but costly.Redemptions have been very steady and very heavy, Sanborn admits.I had nine billion in assets, and now I have six. Venting his frustration in a recent letter to shareholders, Sanborn wrote, Where is Dr. Kevorkian when you need him?.
  
  ...
  Like Sanborn, the active managers argue that their funds` recent underperformance is merely cyclical.

  Robert Sanborn, one of the most high-profile practitioners of value investing, is stepping down from the $2.7 billion Oakmark fund, which he's managed since its 1991 inception.
  
  He was replaced Tuesday by Bill Nygren, manager of the $1.6 billion Oakmark Select fund, and Kevin Grant, a senior analyst who's worked with Sanborn.
  
  ...
  Sanborn will remain with Harris Associates, the Oakmark Funds adviser, where he'll manage private accounts.All Oakmark managers work from the same "approved" list of 80 to 120 stocks set by the firm's investment staff.Nygren has outperformed Sanborn over the past few years.
  ...
  A deep value investor, Sanborn has adhered strictly to a style that has lagged the market for several years.Value funds tend to focus on stocks that are cheaper in comparison either to their peers or to valuation measures such as price-to-earnings ratios.Deep value managers are more extreme, typically buying shares of what they think are profoundly underappreciated companies at cheap prices, on the assumption the market eventually will recognize their value.
  
  In years that were kinder to value investing, Sanborn routinely beat the S&P 500 and his peers.For example, in 1993, Sanborn posted a 30.5% gain, beating the S&P 500 by more than 20 percentage points and 98% of his peers, according to Morningstar.As recently as 1997, he earned a 32.6% return, barely trailing the S&P 500 and beating 88% of his peers.
  
  But the past few years have heavily favored growth stocks.Large-cap growth funds have posted a 30% average annual return over the past five years, compared with just more than 19% annually for their value peers, according to Lipper.Over the past year, growth is outperforming value 37% to 0.5%.
  
  Sanborn's strict approach has put him at the bottom of the value category's scrap heap.Despite tech stocks' sharp run-up, he stuck to his guns and avoided them and other pricey sectors.
  ...
  A company spokeswoman says the move wasn't driven by the Oakmark's sagging performance, but that Sanborn had tired of the "spotlight."That spotlight had probably grown quite hot as the fund continued to sag.
