About HFCVX
Hennessy Cornerstone Value Fund Investor Class is an open-end mutual fund that targets total return through a blend of capital appreciation and current income. The fund is managed with a quantitative, formula-based approach known as the Cornerstone Value Strategy, which systematically selects 50 large, high dividend-yielding companies from the S&P Capital IQ universe, excluding utilities. Stocks are required to meet criteria such as above-average market capitalization, above-average shares outstanding, significantly higher trailing 12-month sales, and robust cash flow. Each selected stock is weighted equally in the portfolio, emphasizing diversification among widely-held, income-generating equities. The fund focuses on sectors with well-established businesses, including financial services, energy, technology, and industrials, reflecting its bias toward mature, dividend-paying firms. Distributions of ordinary income and capital gains are made annually. This concentrated, disciplined strategy gives the fund a significant role in the large value mutual fund category, appealing to investors seeking exposure to established companies with strong dividend profiles and quantitative risk controls.
