About VLIFX
Value Line Mid Cap Focused Fund is an actively managed mutual fund specializing in mid-cap equities, with a primary objective of long-term capital growth. The fund concentrates its assets primarily in common stocks of mid-sized U.S. companies, generally maintaining a focused portfolio of 25 to 50 holdings identified as the team’s “best ideas.” The selection process emphasizes companies that have demonstrated at least ten years of consistent growth in both share price and earnings, favoring businesses with predictable operating histories. This disciplined approach aims to achieve growth while managing risk, resulting in a portfolio with a notably low risk profile compared to its peer group, as reflected by its industry-leading low standard deviation over various periods. The fund’s top sector allocations include technology, industrials, and financial services, with notable holdings such as Tyler Technologies, Heico Corp, and Waste Connections Inc. Founded in 1950, the fund is recognized for its concentrated strategy and consistent performance relative to the Morningstar Mid-Cap Growth Category, balancing growth potential with risk mitigation for investors seeking exposure to mid-cap equities.
