CFI Fund
Our Investment Strategy
CFI Fund is a hedge fund that invests primarily in the common equity of publicly listed U.S. community banks. Its portfolio managers believe this space will outperform the broader stock market over the long-run, primarily as a result of consolidation and the industry’s strong financial position.
Led by a former industry insider and top ranked sell-side analyst, the fund typically owns 15-20 core positions, placing a heavy emphasis on fundamental bottoms-up analysis and management quality.
Under this concentrated approach, the investment team has been able to consistently generate alpha through the achievement of superior company-specific knowledge.
The three characteristics that define our investments are:
- Better-than-peer Core Value growth (proprietary concept)
- Superior takeout potential
- Reduced market risk/correlation
In addition, the strategy adheres to an ethical investment policy designed to increase returns, reduce risk, and align our investment activities with the best interests of society.
