Kent Croft, who runs the $329.8 million Croft Value Fund [see profile] , gets a Monday morning nod from the Wall Street Journal Fund Track column for his appetite for bargains and contrarian plays.

The fund is currently investing in a lot of blue chip, underappreciated names as well as discretionary ones such as Johnson & Johnson, Lowe's Co and Weyerhaeuser, a forest-products company.

The fund is up 7.6 percent year to date, about the same as the Standard & Poor's 500.
