The Mairs & Power Growth Fund Investor Class (MPGFX) is a low-cost, actively managed fund designed to grow investor capital. MPGFX is a classic growth fund that uses fundamental analysis to uncover stocks that have consistently growing earnings and revenues, with minimal turnover. The fund primarily focuses on U.S. stocks located in the Midwest. It can invest in small-, mid- and large-cap equities as well as convertible debt securities rated less than investment grade.
Despite its low costs, MPGFX’s narrow focus makes it a satellite position in a broad equity portfolio. The fund is internally managed by Mairs & Power.
