Morningstar's Take by Kevin McDevitt, CFA 11-20-15 Fairholme Focused Income earns a Morningstar Analyst Rating of Bronze thanks to its eclectic yet rewarding return stream. This fund has bounced back impressively after a poor 2014 showing. Continuing its feast-or-famine tradition, the fund has the high-yield Morningstar Category's highest one-year return (9.3% through October 2015), beating its closest competitor by 6 percentage points. This owes in part to the fund's combined 12.5% position in Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac preferreds, which were up 50% and 21%, respectively. This reversal is a reminder that whether the fund is doing well or not, manager Bruce Berkowitz is playing an entirely different game than most competitors. Berkowitz invests exclusively in fallen angels, as opposed to bonds that are high yield when issued. The fund's income also tends to be much lower than most peers. Berkowitz is more focused on the capital appreciationthatcomeswhenaholding isrerated.Finally, the portfolio is highly concentrated, with about 45% of assets in just two issuers, Sears and Imperial Metals, as of August.

1 figure provided by fund

This combination makes the fund far more volatile than most peers. Its five-year standard deviation, a measure of volatility, was 12.2% through October 2015, double that of the BofAML U.S. HY Master II Index. In fact, the fund's standard deviation is much more in line with an equity index, such as the broad-based Russell 3000 Index, which had a nearly identical five-year standard deviation of 12.3%. Looking at the fund as an equity proxy wouldn't be accurate either. Instead, the fund might be thought of as a source of somewhat uncorrelated returns. Since its 2010 inception, the fund has a R-squared--a measure of correlation--of just 19 with both the BofAML U.S. HY Master II Indexand theRussell3000 Index.Thus, the fund could provide diversification for investors looking for an alternative to stocks and bonds. However, that requires detaching from the fund's wild year-to-year fluctuations. For those who can do so, it can fill a useful niche.
