As one can define a word as they wish, let us define Mercertus. We define Mercertus from the Latin derivation of “Merit” in meaning earned or deserved and from “Cert” as in to trust. Hence we derive our commitment to you and that commitment is to earn your deserved trust in how we conduct our business — Mercertus — the root for Mercertus Capital, LLC — the “General Partner” of the ACI Partnership Funds.
The managing partner over the past 20+ years has pursued a discipline of fundamental value investing. A research approach that is repeatable and an investment process which is used to create a portfolio that seeks absolute returns with limited investment risk, over the long-term. Our funds are guided by a proven value philosophy, which first focuses on the strength of a company’s balance sheet and second on the discounted or market dislocations in prices of its securities.
