Funds following the single-manager system _______.
Use one lead manager and a group of traders and research analysts. Team-managed funds use two or more people who work together. At multiple-manager funds, a number of managers work independently of each other. Single-manager funds use one lead manager with others pitching in with research and trading.

When a manager leaves a fund you own, what should you do?
It depends. If the fund was team managed or if the family has other skilled managers on staff, staying the course isn't a bad idea. If it's an index fund or a fund from a category with a modest range of returns, there's probably no reason to sell at all.

4.
If you're choosing between two equally good funds, consider avoiding the one _______.
Run by a single manager who's the only star in the fund family. While star managers may seem alluring, be sure that there's some back-up or bench strength in the family. Why? Because managers who do well at mediocre families eventually move on.

Which type of fund is most affected by manager changes?
One-manager funds. If a fund lists only one fund manager and that manager leaves, the fund may be poised for change. If only one member leaves from a team, in contrast, there should be some continuity in the fund's performance.
