Brayman returns to FundInvestor 500 with a new fund

Article Abstract:

Scott Brayman left Sentinel Small Company in 2004 and fielded a nine-member team at his new firm Champlain Investment Partners. Champlain has returned about 7% in the year 2005 with $15 million in assets and charging an expense ratio of 1.40%, which will come down a little when assets grow and this is not difficult to achieve considering Brayman's long-term records, his strategy and the success he enjoyed at Sentinel.
