Fund Advisor Fired for Poor Performance, Service

The Enterprise Group of Funds of Atlanta fired OpCap Advisors of New York as co-manager to its Managed Fund due to poor performance, service and a divergent investment style from the fund's objective, according to a proxy statement filed with the SEC.

The fund has $114 million in assets under management and has posted a negative 1.65 percent return year to date, according to Morningstar of Chicago. The fund invests in large-cap value stocks listed on the S&P 500 and trails the average large-cap value fund 4.7 percent, according to Morningstar.

Enterprise has replaced OpCap with Wellington Management of Boston, according to the proxy. Wellington will co-manage the Enterprise Managed Fund with Sanford C. Bernstein of New York.

OpCap Advisors is a subsidiary of Oppenheimer Funds of New York and managed $13 billion in assets as of June 30, according to the company.
