About DGIFX
The Disciplined Growth Investors Fund is a balanced mutual fund that primarily seeks long-term capital growth, with a secondary goal of modest income at a reasonable level of risk. Typically, the fund allocates about 65% of its assets to equity securities—primarily growth-oriented stocks of mid-sized companies with market capitalizations ranging from $1 billion to $15 billion—and about 35% to fixed-income securities and cash equivalents. The fixed-income portion is diversified, including both investment-grade and below investment-grade bonds, such as corporate debt, government obligations, and mortgage-backed securities, with a typical weighted average maturity of five to ten years.
Notably, the fund favors a selective, research-intensive investment approach focused on U.S. companies, although it may invest internationally as market conditions dictate. The fund is managed using a bottom-up, fundamental analysis strategy, aiming to identify companies with sustainable competitive advantages and strong long-term return prospects. Categorized as moderately aggressive allocation, it seeks to outperform traditional broad-market benchmarks, such as the S&P 500, while maintaining a cost structure below many peers and a concentrated portfolio reflective of high-conviction positions. Since its inception in 2011, this fund has played a meaningful role for investors seeking a blend of growth and income through a disciplined, fundamentals-driven approach.
