How many times have you heard managers say it? Stock price follows earnings.

So in an economy with slack earnings, the stock market stagnates.

But $73.8 million Enterprise Mergers & Acquisitions Fund looks for an additional share-price catalyst. The fund aims for takeover targets.

About 67% of the fund's assets are in announced deals. The balance is in firms the fund thinks are potential targets in the next 12-18 months.

That third involves stocks whose share price could rise due to conventional market support, says Paolo Vicinelli, an analyst for Mario Gabelli. Enterprise hired Gabelli Asset Management to run the fund. "Those stocks could be taken over," Vicinelli said. "But we're also trying to capture some market upside."

This year going into Monday, the fund returned -0.82% vs. -4.27% for the S&P 500.
