In brief

What this company does

Hennessy Advisors, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a publicly traded investment management firm whose primary business activity is providing investment advisory services to a family of 16 open-end mutual funds (collectively, the “Hennessy Mutual Funds”) and one exchange‑traded fund (“ETF”) branded as the Hennessy Funds. We earn revenues primarily by providing investment advisory services to the Hennessy Funds and secondarily by providing shareholder services to investors in the Hennessy Mutual Funds. The fees we receive for investment advisory and shareholder services are calculated as a percentage of the average daily net asset values of the Hennessy Funds. We have delegated the day‑to‑day portfolio management responsibilities to sub‑advisors, subject to our oversight, for some of the Hennessy Funds.

Written from the business description in Hennessy Advisors, Inc.'s annual report to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, filed 3 December 2025. Every sentence was checked against that document before publication.

The 16-year record

16 fiscal years

Every figure from documents filed with the SEC · USD

EPS, diluted, dividend per share and shares outstanding are shown without shading, and a vertical line marks the year the share count changed — the series crosses a large, unexplained change in share count, so the years on either side are not on a comparable scale.
