- The Disciplined Growth Investors Fund (DGIFX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks long-term capital growth as its primary objective and modest income with reasonable risk as a secondary objective. The Fund normally invests approximately 65% to 70% of its assets in equity securities, primarily mid-cap growth stocks with market capitalizations between $1 billion and $15 billion at the time of purchase, including companies such as Garmin Ltd., InterDigital Inc., Coterra Energy Inc., Pure Storage Inc., and Expand Energy Corp.; the remaining assets are allocated to fixed-income securities, such as investment-grade bonds with a weighted average duration of 4 to 5 years across ratings from AA+ to BBB-, cash equivalents, and other instruments. It employs a disciplined value-oriented growth strategy focused on companies with sustainable competitive advantages, superior long-term returns on capital, and purchases during periods of market volatility when valuations appear temporarily discounted. Disciplined Growth Investors, Inc., the Fund's adviser and an SEC-registered investment adviser founded in February 1997 and headquartered at Fifth Street Towers, Suite 2550, 150 South Fifth Street, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55402, manages the Fund and provides similar equity, small-cap, mid-cap, and balanced portfolio strategies to institutional clients, high-net-worth individuals, pension plans, and other entities across the United States. The Fund, launched on August 12, 2011, and distributed by ALPS Distributors, Inc., maintains total net assets of approximately $512 million to $587 million as of early 2025, with a net expense ratio of 0.78%, a minimum initial investment of $10,000 (or $100 monthly via automatic investing), and daily pricing. The investment team, led by portfolio managers Fred Martin (founder, since inception), Rob Nicoski (since inception), Nickolas Hansen (since 2019), and Jason Lima (since 2021), along with analysts Joseph Neadeau and Alex Ganenco, applies rigorous fundamental analysis, including direct engagement with company management, facility visits, and product usage to assess intrinsic value over a seven-to-ten-year horizon. In recent developments, the Fund has maintained its core allocation strategy with minor adjustments, including increased exposure to high-conviction holdings like Super Micro Computer Inc. and Arista Networks Inc. in its broader firm-managed portfolios during 2025, while portfolio turnover remains low at approximately 21% annualized over seven years; no major acquisitions, partnerships, funding rounds, or structural changes for the Fund or its adviser were reported in 2024 or 2025, reflecting continuity in its conservative approach amid market volatility.
