About LOGIX
Scharf Fund Institutional Class is an actively managed mutual fund designed primarily for institutional investors seeking long-term capital appreciation. Its investment philosophy centers on identifying equity securities that present a compelling balance of significantly higher appreciation potential relative to downside risk over the long term. The fund employs a flexible approach, investing in companies of all market capitalizations, both within the United States and globally, including emerging markets—allocating up to 50% of assets to foreign issuers and up to 25% in emerging markets.
Key features of this fund include its focus on value-oriented stocks with strong fundamentals, such as consistent earnings growth, solid cash flows, and robust balance sheets. The portfolio typically holds about 30 positions, reflecting high conviction in selected companies and resulting in a concentrated structure—over half of the assets reside in its top 10 holdings, which span sectors like healthcare, technology, financial services, and consumer defensive. The management process emphasizes rigorous valuation metrics, margin of safety, and patience, aiming to outperform in up markets while preserving capital during downturns. This class requires a substantial minimum investment, catering to larger institutions, and charges a competitive expense ratio for its category.
