STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS

Deep Value Investor

We seek investment opportunities that trade at a discount to readily ascertainable valuations and are often contrarian or special situation in nature

Balance Sheet Focused with a Long-Term Horizon

Third Avenue’s investment philosophy requires a strong financial position that enables our ability to look longer-term

Focus on Total Return

Our goal is to provide above-average performance, most of the time and over the long term, while seeking capital preservation through investing in companies that typically have tangible assets that are often difficult to replicate; the Fund may serve as a non-correlating element to more mainstream value strategies

Global Universe

Our approach is globally opportunistic, finding value in economic and industrial recessions, complex corporate structures or capital structures and special situations in both developed and emerging markets

High Conviction, Active Portfolio Management

We actively manage the portfolio by prudently concentrating on our highest conviction ideas, and by holding cash when there are fewer buying opportunities

FUnd Objective:

Our strategy seeks long term capital appreciation by investing opportunistically across a global universe of sectors, geographies and security types to build a differentiated portfolio of contrarian and special-situation opportunities. The fund’s investments are generally characterized by what we believe are strong financial positions, valuation supported by tangible assets and market prices substantially below our estimate of intrinsic business value.
