FAM DIVIDEND FOCUS FUND OVERVIEW

Fenimore’s FAM Dividend Focus Fund is designed to maximize total return through a combination of capital appreciation and dividend income – providing dividend growth investing opportunities for long-term success over the last 25+ years.

Why Invest in FAM Dividend Focus Fund?

  • A Quality, Mid-Cap Focus: Unlike most dividend strategies that invest in large capitalization stocks, FAM Dividend Focus primarily invests in quality, mid-cap companies that pay growing dividends – not simply high current dividend yields.
  • Long-Term Growth Potential: With a target holding period of typically 5+ years, our strategy allows stocks to compound, resulting in low turnover and a tax-efficient approach.
  • Market-Tested for 25+ Years: Launched in 1996, FAM Dividend Focus has navigated multiple equity market cycles and historically created wealth over the long term with this strategy for 25+ years. Download our brochure to read ‘6 Key Lessons Learned’ along the way that have helped contribute to the Fund’s long-term success.
  • Strong Dividend Growth: 26 out of 27 holdings in our FAM Dividend Focus Fund increased their dividend in the last 12 months, with an average year-over-year increase of 9.7% (as of October 31, 2024). See the Performance tab for more information.

Invest with Confidence

  • Stability in Turbulent Markets: Dividends can provide stability during market volatility, designed to ensure consistent returns for investors. A growing dividend can be a good indicator of the health of a company and its potential for future success.
  • Know What You Own: Our company-level research enables us to intimately know the businesses behind our stocks and it gives us the confidence to maintain, and even increase, our shares when the market drops. We invest in companies, not stocks.
  • Long-Term Perspective: Our commitment to long-term value fund management helps ensure stability and growth for your investments. Time in the market — staying invested over the long term — has historically been a more reliable strategy for wealth accumulation than trying to time the market.
