Numeric Launches Internet Trading Jul 13 1999

numeric investors closed the n/i numeric Micro Cap fund to new investors yesterday, although existing investors can continue to make deposits.

The fund's assets stood at $131 million as of April 10, and officials with numeric feel that increasing the size of assets will hurt the fund's performance. "I like the relative ease we have at the current asset level to complete trades," said Shannon Vanderhooft, manager of the fund.
