It’s a crap shoot. There have been many businesses/fund managers that have taken big hits when their founders have left, retired or died. To name a few: Apple, Starbucks, and Disney. Tim Cook is no Steve Jobs! Apple failed miserably when Jobs was fired over 30 years ago and floundered for a long while after Steve’s death. When Richard Aster of Meridian Growth investment died, Morningstar advised to stay away. Same for Dave Williams.
This is 1 of the reasons to go with index funds since there is no active manager involved.
