Palm Valley Capital Fund
Investment Objective
The Palm Valley Capital Fund seeks to achieve long-term total return.
Principal Investment Strategies
-
The Fund primarily invests in a portfolio of small capitalization common stocks. The Fund considers small-cap companies to be those that, at the time of investment, have a market capitalization of less than $10 billion.
-
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will hold common stocks
of fewer than 40 different companies.
-
The Adviser to the Fund is Palm Valley Capital Management. The
Adviser narrows down its investable universe by primarily focusing on those small-cap companies that it believes are more likely to grow consistently, have long operating histories, are profitable and have historically generated positive free cash flow, and possess strong balance sheets.
-
Once the Adviser has identified companies meeting its
quantitative and qualitative criteria, it seeks to purchase high-quality businesses that it believes to be trading below fair value
and are less likely to experience a permanent loss in value.
-
The Adviser uses the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) valuation
model as its primary valuation methodology.
-
To manage risk, the Adviser uses a flexible and opportunistic
approach to the Fund's cash position. The Fund may hold a
significant position in cash or cash equivalents for an extended
period of time.
