What Matthew 25 Fund does

The Matthew 25 Fund (ticker: MXXVX) is a US-registered, open-ended, non-diversified no-load mutual fund that has been operating since October 16, 1995. It seeks long-term capital appreciation through a blended growth-and-value equity strategy, evaluating securities across four dimensions — Business, Management, Financial strength, and Price — applied across companies ranging from approximately US$50 million to over US$100 billion in market capitalization, including foreign-listed securities. The fund is highly concentrated, typically holding 12 to 30 securities at a time and permitted to allocate up to 25% of assets to a single position, which distinguishes it from most diversified mutual funds. Recent portfolio holdings disclosed via proxy voting records span large-cap US and foreign names including Nvidia, Amazon, Apple, JPMorgan Chase, Berkshire Hathaway, Goldman Sachs, Taiwan Semiconductor, and MercadoLibre.

The fund is managed by Matthew 25 Management Corp., a Mark Mulholland-owned investment adviser that has served in that capacity since July 8, 1996. Mulholland is sole owner, director, and officer of the adviser and president of the fund, with direct day-to-day responsibility for portfolio management and personal co-investment as one of the largest fund shareholders. The offering is restricted to US citizens and residents, with a US$10,000 minimum initial investment, US$100 minimum subsequent purchases, a 2% short-term redemption fee on shares held one year or less, and no sales charges or 12b-1 fees.

Revenue is generated entirely through a 1.10% annual expense ratio on assets under management (FY ended 12/31/2025). Distribution is direct-only via telephone (888-M25-FUND), mail, and the website matthew25fund.com, with online account servicing through a third-party portal (mutualss.net); IRA sub-products (Traditional, Roth, Simple, SEP) are supported. The fund is operationally mature, 30+ years old, with no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, or recent product launches beyond routine prospectus updates.
