About OFSCX
Olstein Strategic Opportunities Fund Class C is a mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in the undervalued equity securities of small- to mid-cap companies. The fund targets businesses facing unique strategic challenges or transitions, aiming to capitalize on opportunities where market prices do not fully reflect underlying value. Its investment process emphasizes a deep analysis of companies’ ability to generate sustainable free cash flow, scrutinizing operational efficiency, accounting policies, and quality of earnings to identify reliable value opportunities. The fund may also pursue shareholder activism as part of its value investing approach, seeking to influence corporate governance or strategic direction. With a typical portfolio of around 40 holdings, the fund plays a specialized role in offering exposure to smaller companies with potential for growth and turnaround, although it is characterized by higher management expenses compared to peers. Founded in 2006 and managed by Olstein Capital Management, this fund appeals to investors seeking a differentiated strategy grounded in fundamental analysis and active engagement within the broader equity markets.
