That, in a sense, is the tactic of former finance professor Russ Fuller, who uses the principles of behavioral psychology to try to one-up Wall Street's analysts. Don't laugh: Fuller has racked up annualized gains of 26.9% over the past five years in the private accounts he manages. Now he's applying the same techniques at the Undiscovered Managers Behavioral Growth Fund. The portfolio is currently available to institutions and through some financial planners. MONEY's Pat Regnier recently went head to head with Fuller, so to speak, and found that there is some logic to his theories.
