Brent Lynn, manager of Janus’ Overseas Fund, Bob Goldfarb and David Poppe of Sequoia Fund and Michael Hasenstab of Templeton Global Bond were named mutual-fund managers of the year for 2010 by Morningstar.
“These managers posted exceptional gains — enough to overcome the difficult market environment of the past few years,” Karen Dolan, director of mutual-fund analysis for Chicago-based Morningstar, said Wednesday in a statement.
Lynn, below, won for international stocks, Goldfarb and Poppe in the domestic-stock category, and Hasenstab for fixed income. Lynn’s $13.5 billion fund returned 19 percent last year and 13 percent over the past five years. The five-year returns beat 99 percent of peers, Bloomberg data show. Janus Capital Group Inc. is based in Denver. While Lynn historically has favored emerging-market stocks, Delta Air Lines, Ford and Bank of America were among his top 10 holdings as of Sept. 30.
