Investment objective & strategy

As of Nov. 20, 2024 · prospectus

Objective. The Akre Focus Fund (the Fund) seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation.

Strategy. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests primarily in securities of companies listed on U.S. stock exchanges. Investments consist primarily of common stocks of companies of any size market capitalization. The Fund may also invest in preferred stocks, warrants, options, and other equity-like instruments, such as partnership interests, limited liability company interests, business trust shares and rights, Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), and other securities that are convertible into equity securities. The Fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets in securities issued by foreign issuers, including in American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), European Depositary Receipts (EDRs), Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs), and directly in foreign equity securities. Additionally, the Fund may participate in securities lending arrangements of up to … Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests primarily in securities of companies listed on U.S. stock exchanges.

The Fund may also invest in preferred stocks, warrants, options, and other equity-like instruments, such as partnership interests, limited liability company interests, business trust shares and rights, Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), and other securities that are convertible into equity securities. The Fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets in securities issued by foreign issuers, including in American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), European Depositary Receipts (EDRs), Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs), and directly in foreign equity securities. Additionally, the Fund may participate in securities lending arrangements of up to 33-1/3% of its total asset value with brokers, dealers, and financial institutions (but not individuals) in order to increase the return on its portfolio. The Fund may, from time to time, have significant exposure to one or more sectors of the market. As of July 31, 2024, 46.9% of the Funds net assets were invested in securities of issuers within the financial services sector. Although the Fund normally holds a focused portfolio of equity securities, the Fund is not required to be fully invested in such securities and may maintain a significant portion of its total assets in cash and securities generally considered to be cash equivalents. In certain market conditions, Akre Capital Management, LLC (the Adviser) may determine that it is appropriate for the Fund to hold a significant cash position for an extended period of time. The Adviser principally seeks to identify companies which may earn higher-than-average returns on shareholders equity; are managed, in the Advisers judgment, by individuals who have a history of treating public shareholders like partners; and have ample opportunity to reinvest excess profits at above-average rates. Once a potential investment is identified, the Adviser attempts to purchase shares at valuations the Adviser considers modest-to-reasonable, relative to the nature of the business, and the expected growth in economic value per share. The Fund is non-diversified under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), and may invest a larger percentage of its assets in fewer issuers than diversified mutual funds. The Adviser may sell a security for a variety of reasons, including, without limitation, when: (1) a security subsequently fails to meet the Advisers initial investment criteria; (2) an issuer specific event, such as an acquisition or recapitalization, changes the fundamental operations of the company; (3) upon comparative analysis, a new security is judged to be more attractive than a current holding; (4) views change of the individual holdings as well as the general market; or (5) something changes for the worse in the business model, management or governance, or future opportunity for reinvestment.
