Investment Objective
The Fund’s investment objective is long-term capital appreciation.
CONTRARIAN AND
VALUE-ORIENTED APPROACH
Actively managed and historically generating high active share, this low-turnover, contrarian and value-oriented approach invests across the capitalization spectrum. The Fund seeks securities that are depressed in price, out of favor with investors and trading at a substantial discount to intrinsic value. Tocqueville emphasizes free cash flow generation, balance sheet quality and the fundamental strength of a business franchise as attributes to identify the most attractive risk/reward proposition across all market capitalizations.
Firm inception: 1985
Portfolio manager:
- James Hunt; industry since 1984
