About the Pabrai Wagons Fund

We believe exceptional investment performance is usually the product of only a few great investments held for a very long time; the trick is to not only find the great investments, but also not sell them. Reminiscent of the defensive maneuver of American pioneers in the 1800s, the Fund will “circle the wagons” around its highest conviction holdings, which it believes will have the highest potential for investment returns. If the Fund needs to sell securities to meet cash needs, it will generally avoid selling these high conviction securities first.

COMPOUNDING MACHINE
These three areas of analysis – business, management, and reinvestment – are the key components of what we call our “three-legged stool.” When we find a business that satisfies all three of our requirements, we refer to it as a “compounding machine,” and we seek to purchase shares at a modest valuation.

We know from experience that these businesses are rare.

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The Fund is non-diversified, meaning it may focus its assets in fewer individual holdings than a diversified fund. Therefore, the Fund is more exposed to individual stock volatility than a diversified fund. The Fund invests in small- and medium-capitalization companies, which involve additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility than larger capitalization companies.
