Quick Take
"The Frank Value Fund posted a strong 8.36% YTD return, driven by key wins in power producers capitalizing on AI electricity demand and a buyout premium for Cantaloupe Inc."
Executive Summary
The Frank Value Fund Institutional class delivered an 8.36% YTD return as of June 30, 2025, significantly outperforming the Russell Midcap Value Index's 3.12%. Key performance drivers included holdings in Independent Power Producers (IPPs) like NRG Energy and Vistra Corp., which capitalized on surging electricity demand and potential AI datacenter deals. The fund also benefited from M&A, with holding Cantaloupe Inc. accepting an all-cash buyout at a premium. Throughout the quarter, the fund rotated into attractively valued consumer staples and established a high-upside spinoff position, exploiting structural selling inefficiencies caused by index tracking funds.
