About AVALX

Aegis Value Fund Class I is a mutual fund focused on delivering long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in small capitalization stocks considered deeply undervalued. Employing a contrarian, fundamentals-driven strategy, the fund seeks companies trading at significant discounts to tangible book value or at low multiples of future cash flows. Its portfolio is highly concentrated, with a significant proportion invested in energy, basic materials, and financial services sectors, reflecting a high conviction approach. Managed since inception by Scott Barbee, the fund is recognized for its disciplined emphasis on asset valuation and balance sheet strength, conducting rigorous financial analysis to identify potential opportunities overlooked by the broader market. Institutional in structure, Aegis Value Fund Class I maintains a high active share and is often cited for its low price-to-book portfolio metrics relative to peers. With a history dating back to 1998, it serves investors aiming for exposure to undervalued small-cap equities as part of diversified portfolios, while charging a management fee that reflects its active, research-intensive approach.
