26 | Wealth & Finance Q4 2024 Best Contrarian Hedge Fund Managers 2024 – USA & Best Opportunistic High Yield Hedge Fund (YTD): Woodworth Contrarian Stock & Bond Fund Based in McMinnville, Oregon, Woodworth Contrarian Fund is a value-based hedge fund that specialises in contrarian investment opportunities for both public and private markets. The company focuses on investing in undervalued stocks and bonds, those with potential value overlooked by the market. The Woodworth Contrarian Fund is Co-Managed by Quinn and Drew Millegan, brothers who are deeply rooted in their home state of Oregon. Woodworth Contrarian Fund is a family-owned and operated fund that leverages more than two decades of combined market experience to provide investors with independent administration, independent auditors, and monthly statements. The brothers meet with companies and their management, attend earnings calls, and perform deep-dives into company financials on a regular basis. “We meet the long-term needs of investors seeking aggressive returns by allocating a portion of your overall investments,” says Quinn. “We manage our portfolio directly – trained as true stock pickers with a contrarian focus, which is a rarity in a world filled with market averages, ETFs, and derivatives. We stay nimble and diversified, with an ability to pivot as the market changes.” With the slogan of “Deep Roots, Stubborn Growth, Oregon Based”, Woodworth Contrarian Fund reflects this sentiment in all of its operations. The company stakes its future in Oregon by leveraging its deep roots in the state and its commitment to contrarian, valuebased investment strategy. Even in challenging market conditions, Woodworth Contrarian Fund remains dedicated to its stubborn growth, staying resilient due to its strong foundation and innovative investment strategy. As a contrarian investment fund, Woodworth Contrarian Fund believes that certain crowd behaviour among investors leads to exploitable mispricing in securities markets. “Widespread pessimism about a stock can drive a price so low that it overstates the company’s risks and understates its prospects for returning to profitability,” Quinn explains. “Identifying and purchasing such distressed stocks, and selling them after the company recovers, can lead to above-average gains. While we don’t always match the markets, contrarian strategies consistently outperform – which has resulted in above-average returns for our investors.” With over 20 years of combined industry experience, Woodworth Contrarian Fund has developed a true understanding of what it takes to succeed in the competitive market. Quinn cites communication as one of the most important elements of the world of finance. Whether bringing good or bad news, it is imperative to keep investors informed, and so Woodworth Contrarian Fund maintains open communication, providing calls and monthly statements that are produced by independent administration and audited yearly by independent authors. In taking this approach, the company has built many relationships steeped in trust and longevity, as its clients can always count on receiving total transparency. Trusting relationships are crucial to a business’s success, especially when handling the financial matters of a client, which requires a significant level of trust to be extended. In addition to its complete transparency, Woodworth Contrarian Fund also allows its proven track record of success to reassure clientele of its prowess in the financial field. Another way in which Woodworth Contrarian Funds has built strong relationships with its clientele is by remaining ahead of trends emerging into the market. By closely monitoring the industry for changes in regulations, mispricing in the market, and shifts in investment behaviour, the company successfully navigates the evolving market and maintains its frontrunning position. This is especially vital for Woodworth Contrarian Fund, as its success lies in identifying and investing in continually overlooked stock. “We look to outperform the rest; our time horizon is three to five years on our individual investments,” Quinn concludes. “The market closes for no man, and we make those split second decisions, so our partners don’t have to. We live and breathe what we do, every single day.” Contact: Quinn Millegan Company: Woodworth Contrarian Fund Web Address: https://www.woodworth.fund/ In the ever-evolving world of finance, investors are continually seeking new strategies to effectively navigate the uncertain landscape.
