Brandywine Fund

Objective

Brandywine Fund seeks capital appreciation by investing in growth-equity securities. This mutual fund primarily invests in U.S. common stocks.

Fund Focus

Brandywine Fund employs Friess Associates’ research-driven investment process. This process capitalizes on the relationship between earnings performance and stock prices by isolating companies experiencing rapid earnings growth that sell at reasonable multiples of earnings estimates, and show promise to positively surprise Wall Street.

This mutual fund maintains the flexibility to pursue companies that meet its criteria regardless of market cap or industry.

Portfolio characteristics, including sector weightings and market caps, result from a true bottom-up approach and do not reflect the composition of any market index. While this mutual fund maintains an all-cap focus, its rapid earnings growth requirement most often leads it to smaller and mid-cap stocks with room to grow.

Where This Mutual Fund May Fit As Part Of Your Asset Allocation

The Brandywine Fund may be appropriate for your overall investment allocation if you are:

  • Looking to gain exposure to high-quality U.S. companies of all sizes
  • Seeking long-term growth of capital
  • Willing to accept short-term volatility of returns

Risks

The Fund invests in growth stocks, which may be more sensitive to market movements because their prices tend to reflect future investor expectations rather than just current profits. Growth stocks may underperform value stocks during given periods. Investments in international securities are subject to certain risks of overseas investing including currency fluctuations and changes in political and economic conditions, which could result in significant market fluctuations. These risks are magnified in emerging markets.
