Value Investment Fund Status Week 11 – Good Week<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

<\/p>\n

During the week ending January 8, 2021, the Value Investment Fund expanded 1.3%. Whereas the DOW reported a stronger uptick of 1.5%. Again, exceptional growth for the fund is held in check due to the continued poor performance of the REIT Pool. The concerns about the ability of folks to pay rent during this lockdown period is holding the pool in check. Many institutional investors in these stocks are waiting for the 4th quarter reports; the preliminary reports are due out in two weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the beginning of the week, the Value Investment Fund’s status stood at $116,231 (see End of December 2020<\/span><\/strong> <\/a>report). On Friday, Union Pacific was sold at $215.17 as that particular stock soared that day. In total, Union Pacific had a 23.66% return in only 72 days. This was another successful full transaction. This transaction added $4,620 to the realized returns total of $9,177.38 including dividends earned of $1,122.12 in 79 days. This is tracking for a 42% annual return. The Investment Fund is still adhering to the expected return of at least 34% during 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, the fund is outperforming the market. One of the core four principles of value investing is patience. Since the COVID-19 vaccine has started distribution to the country, it is just a matter of time to see recovery and acceleration with REIT<\/span><\/strong><\/a> stocks. While most of the market has already displayed market price recovery from the market decline back in March of 2020, REIT’s have not recovered due to the higher than normal unemployment status nationwide. As this begins to turn positive, REIT investments will accelerate with their market price recovery back to pre-COVID prices. It is just a matter of time.<\/span><\/p>\n
