DF Dent Funds


D. F. Dent and Company, Inc. was established as an independent investment counseling firm by Dan Dent in 1976. The company is wholly owned by its 4 principals and is unaffiliated with any other financial organization. D. F. Dent has developed a national clientele of pensions, endowments, corporations and individuals residing in 34 states and 4 foreign countries. Without any marketing or distribution channels, the firm’s asset base has grown almost entirely from appreciation and referrals to over 2.2 billion dollars in equities and fixed income securities. They have concentrated on investment research and client portfolio management rather than marketing.
 
DF Dent Funds prefer to operate across the full market capitalization spectrum and invest in companies that are market leaders of an industry. Within these companies, DF Dent Funds look for world class management teams with superior execution skills who deliver on a consistent basis in various environments. DF Dent Funds prefer managements which do not draw large salaries but rather have meaningful equity positions in their companies.
 
The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of domestic companies that possess superior long-term growth characteristics and those have strong, sustainable earnings prospects and reasonably valued stock prices. The Fund may also invest in companies that do not have particularly strong earnings histories but do have other attributes that may contribute to accelerated growth in the foreseeable future.
 
Most of the offerings in this fund's category have turned in strong results over the past three years, but three-year performance records can change quickly, turning today's winners into tomorrow's dogs. One should also give close scrutiny to the risk side of the equation and can get an idea of this by looking at the risk component of the star rating and fundamental risk factors.
 
DF Dent Premier Growth Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation. The fund generally invests in equity securities that possess characteristics for long-term accelerated growth. The Fund primarily invests in medium and large size domestic companies. Medium size companies normally have market capitalizations in the range of 1.5 billion dollars to 7 billion dollars.
