Large Cap Value Fund
A multidimensional approach to value investing
Strategic portfolio construction
For the fund’s managers, portfolio construction goes beyond superior stock selection and downside protection. Other elements of the process can help the fund outperform its benchmark. For example, they scrutinize the portfolio daily to determine the fund’s exposure to style factor risks.
Building a portfolio for all markets
The managers continuously analyze the fund’s stock-specific risk characteristics. They work with analysts to determine the degree of risk that every position brings to the portfolio, and to determine whether that risk is “paid for” — that is, properly balanced with return potential.
To scrutinize the fund’s sensitivity to external shocks, they conduct regular stress tests. Using proprietary tools, they learn how a portfolio would perform if subjected to certain forces, such as severe declines in sectors, volatility in commodity prices, or more unpredictable events like the global financial crisis.
“We have an obsession with portfolio construction and risk management. It is a secret sauce in our process.”
