Shareholder letter / fund letter

Akre Focus Fund Annual Report

The Akre Funds official profile page provides Akre Focus Fund annual reports, semi-annual reports and shareholder materials and is the primary public source for tracking Chuck Akre's quality compounding framework.

  • Akre's public profile generally revolves around the compounding machine, management, reinvestment capabilities, and valuation discipline.
  • The fund report is suitable for explaining why the portfolio has long-term concentration in payments, ratings, software and high capital return businesses.
  • Fund reporting and 13F need to be distinguished: the report explains the strategy, and the 13F shows U.S. discloseable holdings.
  • The official information page is more reliable than third-party articles, and it is also convenient for continuous tracking of fund reports.
  • This information can also help the average investor understand Akre's three-legged framework: business quality, talent, and reinvestment.
Interview Classic

Jean-Marie Eveillard on Global Value Investing

Eveillard's public interview discussing global value investing, capital preservation, cash, and avoiding permanent loss is an important source for understanding First Eagle's traditional value framework.

  • Eveillard's framework emphasizes capital preservation, unlike more aggressive deep value or growth strategies.
  • His emphasis on margins of safety, cash, and the avoidance of permanent losses lends itself to explaining First Eagle's defensive style.
  • Information helps investors understand that global value investing is not just about U.S. stocks, but also includes gold, overseas companies, and currency risks.
  • The interview can be used as a classic figure, because Eveillard is an important representative of modern global value investing.
  • This type of legacy material needs to be viewed as a source of framework rather than current trading views.
