David R, Carr Jr.		“We’ve learned that great businesses seldom get the valuations they deserve, but at the same time, they can become attractively priced because of the short-term nature of many of the participants in today’s marketplace. ”		Larry D. Coats, Jr.
		Oak Value Fund

Every investor tries to buy great businesses at attractive prices, but very few of them have a clearly defined way to do this. Larry Coats, and David Carr co-managers of Oak Value Fund, believe in valuing equities as businesses and in building a thorough understanding of the key drivers of each company in the portfolio. Restricted only by the firm’s investment principles and discipline, the Fund’s managers may invest even at unusual value places like technology.
