Fund Details
Lone Peak Value Investor Overview
Lone Peak Value Investor (CLFFX) is an actively managed U.S. Equity Mid-Cap Value fund. Lone Peak Global Investors, LLC launched the fund in 2014.
The investment seeks long-term capital appreciation. The fund invests primarily in equity securities of companies of any size that the fund's investment adviser believes are trading at a discount to what they are worth at the time of purchase and have the potential for capital appreciation with acceptable downside risks. The Adviser uses a disciplined "bottom-up" selection process to identify equity securities of companies that appear to be selling at a discount to the Adviser's assessment of their potential value.
