Operating within the financial markets, the described fund primarily targets investment in equity securities of small and mid-capitalization companies. This investment strategy leverages the Adviser's proprietary Private Market Value (PMV) methodology with the objective of identifying the true intrinsic value of a company, essentially estimating what an acquirer would be willing to pay to own the company outright. This strategic approach underpins the fund's investment philosophy, focusing on uncovering the latent value not immediately apparent through conventional market analysis. The fund’s operations are guided by a principle of maintaining a significant portion of its assets in its core investment area, but it also allows for flexibility in diversifying its investment portfolio.
The core service offered involves investing at least 80% of the fund's net assets, along with any borrowings intended for investment purposes, in equity securities of small and mid-capitalization companies. This product focuses on tapping into the growth potential of emerging and mid-scale enterprises by utilizing a strategic and analytical approach to select investments that offer promising returns.
This distinctive strategy is employed to calculate a company's true intrinsic value, guiding the investment decisions. The PMV methodology assesses what an acquirer would be willing to pay for a company in its entirety, aiming to uncover investment opportunities that the market has undervalued. This method represents a comprehensive analytical approach to investment, placing a high value on understanding a company's potential from the perspective of an acquirer.
While the fund primarily invests in equity securities, up to 20% of its net assets can be allocated towards securities of real estate investment trusts (REITs) and other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (ETFs). This diversification strategy allows for exposure to the real estate market and other sectors, providing a balanced investment portfolio and potentially mitigating risks associated with market volatility.
