About HFCIX

Hennessy Focus Fund Institutional Class is a mutual fund designed to provide long-term capital appreciation through a concentrated portfolio approach. The fund primarily invests in domestic companies listed on U.S. national securities exchanges, but it may also include foreign companies listed in the U.S. or accessed via depositary receipts, and occasionally, firms traded on foreign exchanges. Emphasizing secular growth businesses, the fund seeks firms with strong profitability, robust growth prospects, resilience to obsolescence, and the ability to reinvest capital effectively. With a typical portfolio of around 24–25 holdings, it is classified as a non-diversified mid-cap blend fund and features a high-risk, high-return profile, as reflected by its above-average volatility compared to its benchmark and category peers. Hennessy Focus Fund Institutional Class is notable for its rigorous research-driven selection process and aims for sustained mid-teens earnings growth among its holdings. Distributions are generally paid annually, and the fund targets institutional investors, given its higher minimum investment requirement.
