ZIG seeks capital appreciation by actively investing in US companies believed to be undervalued and fundamentally strong. The selection process follows a methodology using a valuation metric to find takeover targets - The Acquirers Multiple. Eligible value stocks are identified by assessing and ranking companies based on their assets, earnings, and cash flows. To remove overvalued stocks, stocks are evaluated for fraudulent financial reporting and financial distress and are examined for a margin of safety in three ways: (a) a wide discount to a conservative valuation, (b) a strong, liquid balance sheet, and (c) a robust business capable of generating free cash flows. The remaining constituents will then undergo a forensic accounting due diligence review of their financial statements, selecting 30 stocks from the largest 25% of the investable universe and finalizing the fund. Prior to December 7, 2021, the fund tracked The Acquirer's Index, with a similar strategy.
