Burgundy Focus Canadian Equity Fund On a risk scale of 1 to 5, 5 being the Highest, this fund is a 4. Fund Description Burgundy's investment approach involves carefully
evaluating the economics of individual companies and
their managements through independent research and
analysis. Burgundy takes a contrarian approach and seeks
out companies that other investors avoid or overlook due to
negative events or temporary issues. Burgundy looks for
undervalued companies with security prices that are well
below their estimation of their intrinsic value. Generally, an
investment will be made if a company's securities can be
purchased at a price that is approximately 30% or more
below Burgundy's estimation of their intrinsic value. This
difference provides a margin of safety designed to protect
capital as well as build wealth. Typically, a company's
securities are sold when their price meets or exceeds
Burgundy's estimate of their value or when the company no
longer meets Burgundy's fundamental valuation criteria.
