Philosophy & Process
The Fund purchases companies that the portfolio manager believe are priced significantly below their intrinsic worth as well as those that demonstrate sustainable competitive advantage and high returns on invested capital. The portfolio management team partners with shareholder-oriented company management that has demonstrated a track record of strong capital allocation.
The management process identifies investment opportunities from the broad equity universe using fundamental analysis, valuation and risk management to select 30 to 50 holdings within the Fund. The strategy is oriented toward long-term investing but the manager will sell a holding that has become less attractive or underperforms expectations or has excessive leverage.
Investment Considerations
The Fund may invest in undervalued securities which may not appreciate in value as anticipated or remain undervalued for longer than anticipated. Investments made in small to mid-capitalization companies are subject to greater risks than large company stocks due to limited resources and inventory as well as more sensitivity to adverse conditions. The Fund may invest in foreign securities which may be more volatile and less liquid due to currency fluctuation, political instability, social and economic risks.

- Over the past 12 months, our benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index, is up +29.5% as of November 30, 2024. If this year-over-year gain holds, it may be the best year for the Russell 1000 Value in over a decade. - What is interesting to us is that the return thus far in 2024 has been concentrated in the largest holdings in the index. - Where do we stand in terms of overall valuation for the index where these top companies reside? - We provide an update and observations.
