GAM: A Value-Oriented Fund With A Strong Performance History
General American Investors Company has outperformed the S&P 500 Index over the past 30 years, delivering a 3,418.47% total return since 1995. The fund focuses on long-term capital appreciation through a diversified portfolio, with a lower emphasis on the information technology sector compared to the S&P 500. The fund has a very low turnover compared to most, which appears to be the result of a very value-oriented buy-and-hold strategy.
