But when it comes to mutual funds, managers decide which stocks should be purchased and sold, and when. That human element adds risk to the already inherently risky world of finance.

In addition to Forest Oil Corp., positions in Carters, Inc., John Wiley & Sons, Inc., Class A shares, and General Communication, Inc., Class A shares were eliminated and Saks, Inc.
