About CIMDX
Clarkston Founders Fund Institutional Class is a mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital appreciation while prioritizing minimized volatility and risk. The fund primarily invests in equity securities of U.S. companies with medium market capitalizations, but may also allocate to smaller or larger firms based on opportunity. Its investment approach centers on identifying high-quality businesses—those exhibiting favorable profitability, sustainable competitive advantages, and strong management—that are considered undervalued relative to their expected long-term free cash flow. Guided by a 'Quality Value' philosophy, this non-diversified fund typically holds a concentrated portfolio, often around 25 positions, allowing for meaningful exposure to select companies. The fund’s strategy plays a significant role in the mid-cap value segment, providing investors with targeted access to established U.S. firms poised for durable growth, while aiming to cushion downside risk. Since its inception in 2017, the Institutional Class is designed for larger investors, offering annual dividend distributions and a competitive expense structure within its peer group.
