About YASLX
AMG Yacktman Special Opportunities Fund Class Z is an open-end mutual fund focused on seeking long-term capital appreciation through disciplined value investing. Managed by AMG Funds LLC in partnership with Yacktman Asset Management LP, the fund targets securities that trade at significant discounts to their intrinsic values, using absolute, rather than relative, valuation criteria. Its portfolio is distinguished by a high active share, signaling unique positioning compared to its benchmark, the MSCI ACWI All Cap Index, and its peers; over the past decade, the fund's active share has been around 99.92%.
The fund invests primarily in both domestic and international equity securities, including companies across all market capitalizations and select emerging markets, but it may also allocate assets to foreign and domestic debt instruments. An eclectic and differentiated strategy is evident, with a portfolio that typically maintains a concentrated number of holdings—approximately 47—with significant exposure to small- and mid-cap stocks and a notable allocation to non-U.S. companies (recently about 75% of assets in international securities).
The fund is non-diversified, emphasizing focused positions and a patient, long-term investment horizon, offering investors a distinctive approach within the small/mid-cap value space.
