About HFCGX

The Hennessy Cornerstone Growth Fund Investor Class is a quantitatively managed mutual fund designed to seek long-term capital growth by investing in U.S. common stocks. The fund employs a disciplined, formula-driven approach known as the Cornerstone Growth Strategy, which screens for and selects 50 stocks with the highest one-year price appreciation, ensuring each company also meets additional criteria such as market capitalization above $175 million, a price-to-sales ratio below 1.5, annual earnings growth, and sustained positive price trends over recent months. The portfolio is rebalanced annually and each holding is equally weighted, promoting diversification while maintaining a concentrated focus on growth and value characteristics. Classified within the small blend category, the fund primarily impacts smaller-cap U.S. equity segments and combines elements of both value and momentum investing. Managed by an experienced team, the fund has a significant role for investors seeking exposure to systematic small-cap strategies with a transparent, repeatable investment process.
