Strategy & Objective

The Fund seeks capital appreciation using a disciplined, value-oriented investment process to construct a concentrated portfolio of securities representing what we believe to possess attractive risk reward characteristics. Through our independent research, we own investments that we believe are undervalued relative to their tangible assets, have sustainable cash flow and potential for improving business performance. The Fund seeks to own companies, regardless of market capitalization, that offer the best combination of value and potential for price appreciation. The Fund may also own preferred stock, fixed income securities or other investments that we feel offer unique opportunities in the marketplace.

  • Constructs a highly concentrated portfolio
  • Exploits market inefficiencies caused by investor behavior
  • Invests across the market spectrum without regard to benchmark

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.  Diversification does not assure a profit nor protect against loss in a declining market. Investing in non-diversified funds and/or smaller and/or medium-sized companies involves greater risks than those associated with investing in diversified funds and/or large company stocks, such as business risk, significant stock price fluctuations, sector concentration and illiquidity. The Fund is non-diversified, meaning it may concentrate its assets in fewer individual holdings than a diversified fund. The Fund may invest in foreign securities which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investment by the Fund in lower-rated and non-rated securities presents a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities.
