| Who is this guy? | President of a Minneapolis-based money management firm bearing his name. | |
| What's he manage? | A handful of different mutual funds that invest all of their assets into other mutual funds. This concept is called "fund of funds". | | How long has he been doing this? | Bob opened his own firm in 1990 and put together three of the four fund of funds portfolios he manages in 1995. | | How's the fund performed? | The Markman Aggressive Growth Portfolio's return over the past year ending March 30, 1999, was up 23.45 percent; the Moderate Portfolio, ahead 19.37 percent; and Conservative Portfolio, up 15.51 percent during that same period. | | Anything interesting about him? | Right now he's enjoying all the time he can playing tennis and hanging around with his almost-teenage kids. Once those teen-age years begin, he figures he'll be left in the dust as his kids move on. | | When was the interview conducted? | Tuesday, May 11, 1999, over the telephone. |
