Investments consist primarily of common stocks. As a non-principal investment strategy, the Fund may also invest in securities such as preferred stocks, warrants, equity-like instruments, and debt instruments. The Fund invests without regard to market capitalization. The Portfolio Managers implement the Funds strategy through a concentrated portfolio of approximately 25 companies that the Portfolio Managers believe are high-quality businesses with large growth opportunities, excellent management, low tail risk, and discount valuations. The Funds holdings are conviction-weighted with the top ten positions comprising approximately 60-80% of the Funds assets. Once a potential investment is identified, the Portfolio Managers attempt to purchase shares at a price they believe represents a discount to a conservative estimate of the companys intrinsic value. Generally, the Portfolio Managers may sell a business for a variety of reasons, including (i) source of funds for what they believe is a superior investment idea, (ii) adverse change in their assessment of a businesss quality, growth, or management, (iii) valuation, or (iv) risk management at the company or portfolio level. The Fund may from time to time hold a significant portion of its portfolio in cash or cash equivalents. If market conditions reduce the availability of securities with acceptable valuations, the Fund may hold larger than usual cash reserves for extended periods until securities with acceptable valuations become available.
