Brandywine Fund
Fund Focus and Strategy
Friess Brandywine Fund is our most flexible fund. As an all-cap fund, the Fund’s portfolio can hold the most promising investment opportunities we uncover free from limitations based on company size. The Fund is designed to capture the full reach of our all-cap research effort, which leads us to explore each company’s “food chain” up and down the market-cap ladder. The portfolio typically holds a combination of large-, mid- and small-cap companies.
The Fund’s portfolio takes shape one company at a time without regard to the makeup of market indexes, making sector weightings a byproduct of our team’s search for individual-company earnings strength rather than predetermined targets. The Fund’s bottom-up approach to portfolio construction tends to result in a portfolio with lower correlation to market indexes. Friess Brandywine Fund aims to beat benchmarks, not mimic them.
The Fund capitalizes on the relationship between earnings performance and stock prices by holding companies experiencing above-average earnings growth that also show promise to exceed consensus earnings expectations. The Fund’s freedom to isolate companies of all sizes from any sector enables it to maintain the flexibility to migrate to emerging pockets of earnings strength as the environment evolves.
