Yacktman Fund, run by legendary fund manager Don Yacktman, has reported its second quarter portfolio. The fund is one of the best performing funds over the last decade. Over of the past 10 years, the fund has gained 10.6% a year, while the S&P 500 gained 7.2% a year.

One of the key factors in the valuation of Yacktman Capital Management is risk adjusted forward rate of return. In calculating the forward rate of return, Yacktman adds the ratio of normalized free cash flow over stock price and the long term growth rate of the company. He then takes into consideration of the risks involved with the company. If the forward rate of return justifies the risk involved, he may consider the investment.
