Third Avenue Small-Cap Value Fund
Victor Cunningham, CFA
Portfolio Manager
Inception
April 1997
Small in market cap, seeks high quality.
The Small-Cap Strategy is derived from Third Avenue’s value-oriented approach and is driven by our focus on well-managed companies with financial strength, potential to compound NAV, and securities priced at a discount to our conservative estimates of NAV. This leads to a portfolio of what we believe are high-quality businesses trading at deep discounts to intrinsic value.

1 Active Share is the percentage of a fund’s portfolio that differs from the benchmark index. The Russell 2000 Value Index measures the performance of those Russell 2000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values.
Indices are not securities that can be purchased or sold, and their total returns are reflective of unmanaged portfolios. The returns include reinvestment of interest, capital gains and dividends.
