This means, the fund performed 353% (a factor of 3.53) greater than the Dow Jones Industrial Average in the same time period.
How did this fund outperform the market? Two words explain the result – Value Investing.
Value investing is a style of investing whereby the investor uses business ratios to evaluate and set buy sell points for each of the respective stocks within a pool of stocks. The pool consists of similar companies within an industry. Each company within this pool has a buy/sell point and with this knowledge, the value investor simply waits for a trigger, a buy/sell point to occur, and automatically acts on the preset action. The results are undeniable, value investing generates significantly greater returns over the long run than the market does as a whole. It is simply a model that reduces risk and maximizes return on that investment pool.
