About FVALX
Forester Value Fund Class N is an open-end mutual fund focused on long-term capital growth through value investing. Its primary strategy involves investing in the common stocks of large U.S. companies with market capitalizations greater than $5 billion, specifically targeting those the fund’s manager believes are undervalued relative to their intrinsic worth. The fund performs its own in-depth fundamental analysis, considering factors like book-to-market value, price-to-cash flow, price-to-sales ratios, forward earnings estimates, and historical return on equity. It is managed with an emphasis on identifying equities that are trading below their intrinsic value, offering significant appreciation potential while also providing the ability to adopt defensive positions during periods of perceived overvaluation or market instability. Forester Value Fund Class N typically maintains a low turnover rate, reflecting a long-term, buy-and-hold approach. The fund may also invest in preferred stocks, convertible securities, and stock index options to enhance returns or manage risk. Its role in the market is to provide investors with exposure to large-cap U.S. value stocks, aiming to capture opportunities that arise from market inefficiencies and company mispricing, often appealing to those seeking a disciplined approach to value investing.
