First Trade of the Year

It isn't a particularly interesting one but it adds some nice international flare to the core funds section of my portfolio.  I do hate moving money into an international fund when the dollar is so weak but wanted to add some diversity to my international holdings.  This fund is 5* everything and should round out my core funds well.

I bought Manning & Napier's World Opportunities Fund at 8.68 a share.  The trade was a straight up exchange taking from Perkins Mid Cap Value Fund which sold at 22.76 a share.   It was executed at COB January 3.

As of the writing of this post the weighting of the funds are as follows:

Manning & Napier's World Opportunities Fund (EXWAX) - 4.06%
Perkins Mid Cap Value Fund (JMCVX) - 4.81% (down from 8.96% at last portfolio publishing)
