The Vulcan Value Partners Fund seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in publicly traded small-cap and large-cap companies the Fund believes to be both undervalued and possessing a sustainable competitive advantage. The Fund generally regards small-cap companies to be those less than $10 billion in market
capitalization and large-cap companies to be those greater than $10 billion in market capitalization. The Adviser expects that these ranges will change over time.
The Fund views equity investments as ownership in a business enterprise and approaches investing as long-term partial ownership of businesses. The Fund seeks to purchase publicly traded companies at significant discounts to intrinsic worth. The Fund seeks to invest for the long term, limiting the selection of qualifying investments to good businesses with identifiable, sustainable competitive advantages to maximize returns and to minimize risk. The Fund generally defines risk as the probability of permanently losing capital over a five-year period. The Fund generally sells stocks when they approach their appraised value. The Fund seeks to determine business or intrinsic value through disciplined financial analysis. The Fund believes that equities purchased at prices substantially less than their intrinsic worth generally afford capital protection from significant permanent loss and also create the possibility of substantial appreciation if the market recognizes the company’s economic value.
This portfolio strategy invests in companies with larger market capitalizations. Generally, subject to price, any publicly traded company with reasonable economics would be a potential investment in this portfolio. A core position in the Fund is generally approximately 5% of the Fund’s portfolio, so that theoretically the Fund would seek to hold about 20 companies, spread across various industries. Because it is rare that the Fund would find exactly 20 companies meeting its investment guidelines, allocations will vary with the price to value ratio of specific companies. The Fund may invest in positions as small as 1% when price to value ratios are higher. The Fund generally will not invest in any business that is trading above the Fund’s estimate of its fair value. Most of these securities are listed on the major securities exchanges. The Fund may invest up to 30% of net assets in publicly traded foreign securities, which may consist in whole or in part of securities of issuers in emerging markets. The Fund will ensure that no issuer’s securities will constitute more than 10% of the Fund’s assets. In addition, the Fund will be allowed to invest up to, but no more than, an aggregate of 40% of its assets in positions where the investment in the securities of an issuer exceeds 5% of the Fund’s assets. If investments meeting the Fund’s criteria are not available, the Fund may invest the Fund’s assets temporarily in obligations of the U.S. government and its agencies, or in other money market instruments. The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may take a more focused approach to investing.
