About KAT
The Scharf ETF (KAT) primarily invests in equity securities that the adviser believes have significantly more appreciation potential than downside risk over the long term.
Our bottom-up fundamental research process focuses on exploiting four key market inefficiencies: low valuation factors, quality characteristics, time arbitrage opportunities, and negative sentiment cycles. By maintaining a long-term perspective and concentrated portfolio of 25-35 highest-conviction holdings, KAT aims to deliver strong risk-adjusted returns for investors seeking defensive value exposure with alpha generation potential.
