Standard & Poor’s Fund Services added five mutual funds to its Select Funds’ midcap value list: American Century Value; Colonial Select Value; Eclipse Mid Cap Value; MAS Mid Cap Value Portfolio; and State Street Research Alpha. S&P screens funds on the basis of style consistency, risk-adjusted returns, face-to-face interviews between S&P analysts and portfolio managers, manager tenure and experience, the company’s overall investment philosophy, depth and quality of analytical resources available to the manager, and the stability of the management team and the company.
