Route One Investment Company manages investment portfolios for three investment funds with similar strategies: Route One Fund I, Route One Fund II, and Route One Offshore Master Fund. Route One invests in equity, credit, and commodities in both U.S. and non-U.S. markets. Investors have no say in investment selection. The firm's investment philosophy is value-oriented, seeking to purchase securities at a discount to their intrinsic value.
Route One manages investments for pooled investment funds and charges a quarterly management fee based on the total value of the fund's assets. The fee ranges from approximately 1.0% to 1.5% per year. In addition, investors are charged a performance-based special profit allocation.
