- Diamond Hill Research Opportunities Fund Class C (DROCX) is a mutual fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in U.S. equity securities across all market capitalizations deemed undervalued by Diamond Hill Capital Management, Inc., its investment adviser; the fund employs a research-driven, bottom-up approach focusing on intrinsic value investing, with a blended benchmark of 75% Russell 3000 Index and 25% ICE BofA U.S. T-Bill 0-3 Month Index. Offered as part of the Diamond Hill Funds family, DROCX features Class C shares with a minimum investment of $2,500, a portfolio turnover of approximately 74%, and no front-end load but a contingent deferred sales charge; it targets individual and institutional investors seeking active management in undervalued equities, with net assets around $33 million. The fund, which commenced operations on December 30, 2011, operates within the broader U.S. asset management industry segments of large-cap, small/mid-cap, and select equity strategies. Diamond Hill Investment Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: DHIL), the parent company and issuer through its subsidiary Diamond Hill Funds, was founded in 1990 and maintains headquarters at 325 John H. McConnell Boulevard, Suite 200, Columbus, Ohio; the firm manages approximately $25-27 billion in assets under management across U.S. equity, international equity, alternatives, and fixed income strategies for institutional clients, mutual fund shareholders, and individuals primarily in the United States. In a significant recent development announced on December 10, 2025, Diamond Hill Investment Group entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by First Eagle Investments in an all-cash transaction valuing the company at approximately $473 million, or $175 per share—a 49% premium to the prior closing price; the deal, unanimously approved by Diamond Hill's board, is expected to close by the third quarter of 2026 pending shareholder, regulatory, and mutual fund approvals, after which Diamond Hill will retain its Columbus headquarters, investment teams, and valuation-disciplined philosophy while gaining access to First Eagle's expanded global resources and $208 billion in pro forma assets under management. This strategic alliance aims to enhance distribution, efficiency, and product breadth without altering core operations, marking a major consolidation in active asset management amid industry pressures.
