Investor Guru and self-made billionaire Donald Yacktman once said, “Back in 1987, the day of the 500-point decline, I started buying like crazy … I spent $40 million that day.” That was a long time ago. As of this quarter, Yacktman Asset Management LP lists the fund net assets at $10,174,308,688. Investing heavily in high quality large caps, the portfolio update of the Yacktman Fund, based in Austin, Texas, shows 43 stocks with a total value of $8.5 billion and a quarter-over-quarter turnover of 5%. Guru Donald Yacktman’s non-diversified flagship fund seeks long-term capital appreciation, and, to a lesser extent, current income.
