Guru stock highlight

Vista Outdoor (NYSE:VSTO), which designs, manufactures and markets outdoor sports and recreation products, also was a detractor this quarter. The stock declined over 17% and cost the Fund 23 basis points in performance following weak first quarter earnings. Customers shifted their spending to handguns and away from Vista’s core shooting accessories given fears of increased gun control laws. The company expects these delayed purchases to occur later this year and did not lower full-year guidance.
