Almost $1 billion was directed into its successful Windsor Fund.

But the Windsor Fund bounced back last year, and so far this year is running comfortably ahead of the market.

A similar investment in the Windsor Fund would have risen to $3,468.

And about one year ago, the Windsor Fund sold all its Chase shares.

John Neff's Windsor Fund, which manages $5.9 billion, does not use computers to analyze companies.

The top two at Vanguard are most bullish on the Windsor Fund, the popular growth and income fund with $8.2 billion in assets.

Vanguard's Windsor Fund, another large fund, rose just eight-tenths of 1 percent during the week.

About 20 percent of the Windsor Fund was in cash in 1985.

The Windsor Fund ended 1987 with a performance that was no better than the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index.
