Thomas Mengel, manager of Waddell & Reed International Growth Fund, has been in all the right places lately. He loaded up on Japanese and European telecom and technology stocks, enabling the fund to return 88.7% in 1999, nearly double the 4.54% scored by the average international equity fund. Its 48.2% average annual total return over the past three years beat its peers by better than 2 to 1. Mengel, 42, hasn't had a money-losing year since he took over the fund in 1996. A native of Germany, he holds a degree in business, finance, and economics from the University of Berlin and was president of Sal. Oppenheim Jr. Securities, an equity research boutique in New York. He spoke recently with Standard & Poor's FundAdvisor Associate Editor Jane Sandiford. A longer version of the interview is at www.personalwealth.com.
