"The Insiders Fund tracks SEC insider trading filings to invest alongside management, believing executives know their businesses best."
Executive Summary
The Insiders Fund employs a long-short equity strategy focused on investing alongside company management by tracking insider buying and selling activity through SEC Form 4 filings. The fund's core thesis is that management knows their business better than anyone else, making their investment decisions valuable signals for external investors. For Q3 2023, the fund posted a -2.60% return, bringing year-to-date performance to 1.05%, significantly underperforming the S&P 500's 13.07% YTD return. Since inception in 2001, the fund has generated an annualized return of 11.38% versus 7.36% for the S&P 500, demonstrating long-term outperformance despite recent underperformance. The strategy applies a proprietary scoring algorithm to insider transactions after the initial SEC filing screen. The fund charges a 2% management fee and 20% performance allocation with monthly liquidity and a $200,000 minimum investment.
