5. Strategy
Our primary investment strategy is to assemble and manage a concentrated portfolio of
U.S. common stocks at prices well below their investment value.
We believe that the market is generally efficient. But in rare, often temporary
circumstances, attractive investment opportunities exist in the form of a significant
discrepancy between a stock’s price and its investment value. Our bottom-up, value-based
analysis enables us to identify and exploit these opportunities.
While most of our holdings are long positions, we also take advantage of short-selling
opportunities when stocks are selling at levels significantly above their investment values.
This strategy hinges on the proper definition of investment value, since the relationship
between a stock’s investment value and its price determines whether that stock is fairly
valued, overvalued, or undervalued within a value-based framework. Accordingly, our
ability to approximate stocks’ investment values and to buy at prices well below—or sell
short at prices well above—those values is the key to the Fund’s success.

6. Determining Investment Value
We determine investment value using the dividend discount model, which defines the
investment value of a stock as the present value of the sum of all its future dividend
payments; if investing is the process of laying out money now in the expectation of
receiving more money in the future, then it must be that dividends are the source of value
of a stock. We interfuse this model with a combination of quantitative and qualitative
factors of fundamental analysis to estimate the investment value of a company’s stock.

Objective
CVIF

Performance should be
judged against a specific and
measurable benchmark.
The Fund’s objective is to achieve a
return, after performance allocation
to the general partner, that exceeds
the return of the S&P 500, including
dividends, over a rolling five-year
Dividends add significantly
to any total return and
should be included in a
benchmark.
Performance is
reported net of fees.
This benchmark is
appropriate since we
invest primarily in
U.S. equities.
This time frame reflects
the long-term focus of
our investment
strategy.

The Fund’s fee structure aligns the interests of management with those of investors. While
many hedge funds charge a 2% management fee and a 20% performance allocation, our
fee structure eliminates the management fee and reduces the performance allocation. This
unique structure ensures that management is only compensated by making positive
returns for investors.
