Fund analysts have criticized Basu Mullick for not worrying enough about volatility.

The manager of $1.8 billion Neuberger Berman Partners Fund strongly disagrees.

"You've got to put things into perspective," said Mullick, 46. "We won't sacrifice longer-term returns in order to simply smooth short-term volatility."

In 2004, Mullick put up a second-straight chart-topping annual performance. The fund gained 19.21%, better than 99% of its large-blend peers tracked by Morningstar Inc. The S&P 500 returned 10.71%.

In 2002, Mullick's first full year running the fund, Partners returned -24.8% vs. its peers' -21.8% and the S&P 500's -22.1%.

Mullick says he was transitioning the portfolio by limiting names to less speculative fare. He also wanted to keep bets on individual stocks to 3% to 4% of assets.
