Here to shed some light on the topic is Bobby Chen, CFA, with Wells Capital Management’s Value Equity team, which is led by Charles Rinaldi. The team manages the Wells Fargo Advantage Small Cap Value Fund and the Wells Fargo Advantage Small/Mid Cap Value Fund.

Here with his thoughts is Tom Pence, CFA. Tom is managing director and senior portfolio manager with Wells Capital Management’s Fundamental Growth Equity team.
