C000211491 Investment Objective and Strategy
Vulcan Value Partners Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Financial Investors Trust.
Investment objective
The Fund seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation.
Principal investment strategy
The Vulcan Value Partners Fund seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in publicly traded mid-cap and large-cap companies the Fund believes to be both undervalued and possessing a sustainable competitive advantage. The Adviser generally regards mid-cap companies to be those less than $5 billion and large-cap companies to be those greater than $5 billion. 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 companys 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 Funds 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 Funds 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. The Fund may hold up to 10% of net assets in illiquid securities. If investments meeting the Funds criteria are not available, the Fund may invest the Funds assets temporarily in obligations of the U.S. government and its agencies, or in other money market instruments.
