benryanv,

As you've probably seen on Morningstar or MSN Money, etc, FRBVX performance history is top notch over the past 5-10 years, always in the top 1-2%. And this fund did great in 2006 with more than 28% return. Year-to-date returns appear to be lagging its category though, I'm guessing due to its stake in financials (17% of fund portfolio). FWIW, we own some FBR Small Cap in one of our accounts, so yea I think its pretty good (I'm hoping it is anyway).

If you're interested, you can take a quick listen here to comments from an expert on nearly 100 different funds, including FBR Small Cap. Personally, I like what I perceive to be this guy's transparent honesty about mutual funds. http://www.mutualfundshow.com/funds/index.asp

Good luck,
