The Berger Funds have hired
Jack Thompson to attempt to duplicate the boost he gave to Janus four years ago. Thompson will be executive vice president.
Berger's mutual fund family growth has steadily increased in the last four years with the addition of seven no-load funds including new growth, aggressive growth, value, balanced and international funds.
Thompson was executive vice president, chief operating officer and director of
Janus Capital Corporation from 1983 to 1995. During that time, Janus grew from $250 million in assets to over $26 billion.
"I'm very excited by both the opportunities and challenges at Berger. This is a firm
very well positioned for the future, with excellent potential for significant growth. In many ways it reminds me of Janus several years ago," Thompson said. "I'm looking
forward to being a part of what I believe will be a very exciting time for Berger."
