Small-Cap Fund Summary

Philosophy

Longleaf Partners Small-Cap Fund seeks long-term capital growth. The Small-Cap Fund normally invests at least 80% of net assets in a limited number of companies considered small cap at the time of purchase and believed to be significantly undervalued. Current income is not an objective. We are value investors. The Funds seek to achieve superior long-term performance by acquiring equity securities of financially strong, well-managed companies run by capable managements at market prices significantly below our assessment of their business value. We sell stocks when they approach our appraisal. We view equity investments as ownership in a business enterprise.

We determine business or intrinsic value through financial analysis and established disciplines which we have consistently applied over three decades. Equities purchased at prices substantially less than their intrinsic worth protect capital from significant permanent loss of capital, and also appreciate substantially once the market recognizes the company's economic value.
