The Hennessy funds are interesting: I own some HFMDX, another concentrated mid-cap fund. One of HFCSX's main holdings is Markel. You'll find the same company in Chuck Akre's AKREX, also worth holding.
@BenWP Chuck Akre ran the Hennessy Focus Fund (formerly called FBR) for many years before launching AKREX in 2009, so much of the long-term track record you see is his. Kudos nevertheless to the current managers who continue to deliver great returns. Akre taught them very well. Both are worthy holdings, but holding both may create some overlap.
HFCSX tilts a little smaller than AKREX, which is really turning into a LCG fund. Both seem to be great active plays, though. I've thought about getting into HFMDX, since it's a very systematic, concentrated quant MCV fund.
