The 13th annual Barron's/Value Line survey of top mutual fund managers was published this week. For the second time in three years, a Russian fund has topped the list. The ING Russia Fund helmed by Jan-Wim Derks captured the top spot this year. Coming in at number two and three respectively were the CGM Focus Fund, managed by Kenneth Heebner, who has been getting much press lately for his outsized returns, and the John Hancock Large Cap Equity Fund, headed up by Roger Hamilton.

A sampling of other industry personalities getting mention on the list include, Neil Hennessy, manager of the Hennessy Focus 30 Fund at number 17; Will Danoff, manager of the Fidelity Contrafund, at number 60; and Tom Marsico, manager of the Marsico Focus Fund at number 87.
