"The Frank Value Fund underperformed tech indices in 2025 but outperformed its value benchmark, with the manager warning of an impending 2022-style correction for expensive mega-caps and emphasizing the fund's superior cash flow yields and aggressive share buybacks."
The Frank Value Fund Institutional class returned 12.29% in 2025, outperforming the Russell Midcap Value Index's 11.05%. While the fund underperformed the S&P 500 and Nasdaq in 2025, the manager outlines a strong fundamental case against the highly-valued 'Magnificent Seven' (exemplified by Microsoft's 2% FCF yield) in favor of the fund's cheap, cash-flow-generative holdings (such as Garrett Motion with a 14% FCF yield). Seven of the fund's holdings are currently repurchasing over 5% of their shares annually. The manager warns that the current market environment mirrors late 2021, positioning the fund for outperformance when growth-stock valuations inevitably correct.
