Olstein All Cap Value Fund

Highlights & Facts

Emphasizes investments in the undervalued equity securities of companies with discernible financial strength, unique business fundamentals, a competitive edge and an ability to generate free cash flow.


Investment Process Highlights

  • Analysis focuses on how a company's operations generate sustainable free cash flow; how much of that cash is available to investors and the level of ongoing investment required to maintain and grow free cash flow.
  • Valuations based on free cash flow. Reliable valuations require: determining if a company's accounting policies reflect business reality; assessing a company's Quality of Earnings; accounting adjustments to eliminate management bias; and identifying positive or negative factors that may affect future free cash flow.
  • Forensic analysis of financial statements reveals the success of a company's strategy, sustainability of its performance and impact of management decisions on future cash flow and is more useful to an investor than management forecasts or earnings guidance.

The Fund is actively managed and may not meet its investment objective or may underperform the market. Small- and mid-sized companies may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. Value stocks may not increase in price as anticipated by OCM (and may actually decline in price) if other investors fail to recognize the stock's value or if a catalyst that OCM believes will increase the price of the stock does not occur or does not affect the price of the stock in the manner or to the degree anticipated. Investing in foreign companies typically involves more risks than investing in U.S. companies which can increase the potential for losses and may include risks related to currency exchange rate fluctuations, country or government specific issues, unfavorable trading practices, less government supervision, less publicly available information, limited trading markets and greater volatility.

Cash flow is the net amount of cash and cash-equivalents being transferred into and out of a business. At the most fundamental level, a company’s ability to create value for shareholders is determined by its ability to generate positive cash flows, or more specifically, maximize long-term free cash flow. Free cash flow represents the cash a company generates after accounting for cash outflows to support operations and maintain its capital assets. Unlike earnings or net income, free cash flow is a measure of profitability that excludes the non-cash expenses of the income statement and includes spending on equipment and assets as well as changes in working capital from the balance sheet.
