The DFMC fund is designed to offer investors an avenue into the American micro-capitalization market segment. Through an active management approach, it systematically combines rigorous research, strategic portfolio design, ongoing oversight, and efficient trading practices to achieve its investment goals. The fund's adviser classifies micro-cap companies using a specific two-part definition: either their market capitalization falls within the lowest five percent of the overall selection universe, or they are smaller than the 1,500th largest company in the United States. The higher of these two market capitalization thresholds is consistently applied. Although the portfolio generally employs a market capitalization-weighted structure, the investment adviser retains the discretion to overweight certain securities. This emphasis is placed on companies exhibiting smaller overall size, attractive relative valuations (meaning lower prices compared to intrinsic value), and superior profitability. Relative valuation is typically gauged using metrics like price-to-book value, while profitability assessments consider earnings in relation to either book value or total assets. Moreover, the adviser possesses complete latitude to modify the weighting of individual securities. These adjustments can be influenced by various factors, including stock price momentum, short-term price reversals, and specific investment characteristic ratios, such as the ratio of asset changes to total assets.
