Primarily invested in common stocks of well-financed, well managed companies at a discount to what Fund management believes is their intrinsic value, with a goal of long-term capital appreciation with limited investment risk.
The stocks of mid-size companies carry additional risks because they tend to be less predictable and their share prices more volatile than more established companies.
Third Avenue Value is part of the Third Avenue Variable Series Trust.
