Purpose
The Wall Street Fund Archive documents The Wall Street Fund, Inc. — a Maryland corporation organized in December 1945, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, reorganized in 2014 into a series of Wall Street EWM Funds Trust, renamed Evercore Equity Fund in 2016, and deregistered as a corporation through a process noticed in 2017. It places that history within the development of American mutual funds, investment-company regulation, fund marketing, fees, governance and investor communication.
Publisher and editor
The archive is published by Independent Financial History Study and Journalism, an independent editorial project, and edited by Ryan Elliott Dennis. The publisher owns the domain thewallstreetfund.com through an ordinary registrar account. The publisher is a distinct entity from every fund, trust, adviser and service provider documented in the archive; the independence page sets out the full statement.
Why this domain
In 2005 the fund printed www.thewallstreetfund.com on the cover of its prospectus as its own web address. That fact is itself part of the record the archive documents. The domain now serves as the address of an archive whose subject is the historical fund; the publisher’s identity sits above the archive’s title on every page.
Method
Every material claim carries a primary-source citation, a confidence level and a verification date. Uncertainty is labeled. The methodology describes the source hierarchy, the claim ledger, the date-typing convention and the performance-data policy.
Roadmap
The archive opens with a single fund because a single fund can be documented to this standard. The project’s roadmap extends the method to other American funds that carried “Wall Street” in their names, and in time to a comprehensive, objective study of mutual-fund history. Essays by the editor accompany the record as working papers.
Contributions
Readers holding prospectuses, annual reports, shareholder letters, press coverage or personal recollections relating to the fund are invited to get in touch. Materials are handled under the legal and privacy terms.
Charter
The project charter is dated 2026-09-04. The development of the archive is preserved through ordinary version control from that date forward.
