About MFCIX

The Meridian Contrarian Fund Investor Class is a mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital growth by investing primarily in small and mid-sized companies that are currently out of favor in the market. The fund targets businesses with depressed valuations but clear catalysts for sustainable improvement, conducting in-depth fundamental research to identify significant disconnects between market value and intrinsic worth. Its portfolio typically consists of about 65 holdings and maintains a diversified allocation across sectors such as financial services, technology, utilities, real estate, healthcare, and energy. The fund benchmarks its performance against the Russell 2500 Index, underscoring its emphasis on small to mid-cap equities. Notable for its contrarian investment philosophy, the Meridian Contrarian Fund strategically manages downside risk while seeking opportunities for recovery and growth, making it a distinctive choice for investors looking for exposure beyond mainstream, high-momentum stocks.
