The Abraham Fortress Fund

The Fortress Fund Story

The Abraham Fortress Fund seeks to protect capital and achieve long-term capital appreciation.

The idea for the Fortress Strategy grew out of Salem's experience as an investment committee member for endowments and foundations. Salem saw that the portfolios of endowments and foundations have a tendency to do well in good economic times and poorly in bad economic times. In 2008, Salem partnered with T. Boone Pickens to create the Pickens-Abraham Foundation, a scholarship endowment fund for accomplished graduating high school seniors in the Texas Panhandle. For his half of the Pickens-Abraham Foundation, Salem wanted to construct a portfolio that was effective regardless of movements in equities, interest rates, or other traditional investment classes. His resulting investment strategy was turned into the Abraham Fortress Fund, LP in July 2018, making the strategy available to qualified investors. The fund was created for the portfolio needs of institutional investors, foundations, endowments, investment advisors, family offices, and individual investors.

On October 14, 2021, the Abraham Fortress Fund, LP was converted into an SEC-registered mutual fund, expanding the investment to all investors. Please review the fund's prospectus for more details about the mutual fund.

Why invest in the Fortress Fund?

A portfolio built with the storm in mind

By combining diversified investments and strong risk management principles, we aim to create a portfolio that can withstand tumultuous market periods.

Thorough risk management

We believe smart portfolio construction starts with thorough risk management. The fund aims to balance each asset class in order to reduce the volatility (or risk) of the portfolio. We prioritize lower volatility in an effort to protect client capital.

Opportunities for growth

Our investment strategy aims to provide diversified investment opportunities in an effort to grow your capital.

Investment management for a fair price

Some investment advisers and consultants overcharge investors by using complicated fee arrangements that are not clearly explained or disclosed. Fees should be fair and transparent. With our fund, we provide clear, straightforward explanations of fees, and we aim to reduce costs for our clients wherever possible.

‍Mutual fund investing involves risk; Principal loss is possible. Investments in debt securities involve credit risk and typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. Investments in lower rated and non-rated securities involve greater risk. Investments in foreign securities involve political, economic, and currency risks, greater volatility, and differences in accounting methods. Derivatives may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity, interest rate, market, credit, management, and the risk that a position could not be closed when most advantageous. Investing in derivatives could lose more than the amount invested. The Fund may use leverage which may cause the effect of an increase or decrease in the value of the portfolio securities to be magnified and the Fund to be more volatile than if leverage was not used. The Fund invests in small and mid-cap companies, which involve additional risks such as limited liability and greater volatility than large-cap companies. Investments related to gold are considered speculative and are affected by a variety of worldwide economic, financial, and political factors. The price of gold may fluctuate sharply over short periods of time, even during periods of rising prices. Full descriptions of risk factors can be found in the fund's prospectus at this link.
