Fenimore is unique like a one-of-a-kind quilt. Our people, philosophy, process and performance are sewn together to create a special company that adheres to the highest standards of ethics and excellence. We have successfully grown to manage more than $1.3 billion in separately managed portfolios and our two mutual funds.

• Independently owned since 1974. 
• We are diligent stewards of our investors’ assets. 
• Fenimore associates donate significant time and resources to the community.

• We are long-term value investors who buy high quality companies with very good growth potential at bargain prices.

• We visit every company we own at least annually and conduct original research. 
• We invest for lasting value and four concrete criteria guide our investment decisions. 
• Portfolio holdings are diverse, yet relatively concentrated. 
• Tax efficiency – our average stock holding period of more than five years helps to reduce capital gains distributions.

• We believe preservation of capital is as important as growth of capital. 
• We focus on absolute returns – not a benchmark.
