The Akre Focus Fund Retail Class (AKREX) is an actively managed fund that bets on U.S. large-cap growth stocks. AKREX’s managers use a three-tiered approach to picking stocks for the portfolio. By looking at management, cash flows and the underlying business of companies, AKREX’s management picks the best opportunities in the sector. The fund is highly concentrated in these best ideas. AKREX focuses mostly on U.S. stocks, however, it is free to own foreign equities as well.
Given its riskier nature and large bets on single stocks, AKREX is best suited as a satellite position in a portfolio. The fund is managed by Akre Capital Management.
