Hanesbrands Inc. (HBI) was the top performing position during the quarter after rising over 28 percent and adding 34 basis points of performance to the Fund. The company posted impressive earnings results and is beginning to realize the benefits of the Maidenform Brands acquisition. They also acquired DB Apparel, a maker of intimate apparel and underwear, which was a legacy division of the old Sara Lee and should also have a positive long-term impact on earnings.
