About DALCX

Dean Mid Cap Value Fund is a mutual fund focused on mid-capitalization U.S. equities. The fund seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation and, secondarily, dividend income by investing primarily in companies with market capitalizations broadly aligned with those in the Russell Midcap Value Index, typically ranging from approximately $3.5 billion to $40 billion. Its management team employs a disciplined, fundamental, bottom-up research process, using multi-factored valuation techniques such as normalized earnings, discounted cash flows, and key financial ratios to identify businesses perceived as undervalued or overlooked by the market. The investment strategy targets companies that may be temporarily out of market favor, holding positions until valuations better reflect the companies’ fair values. The portfolio is generally composed of 40 to 60 holdings and maintains a diversified approach with strict sector and security concentration guidelines, as well as limited foreign and cash exposure. The fund's approach aims to both exploit market inefficiencies and provide downside protection in challenging environments, contributing to its role as a value-oriented option within the mid-cap segment of the equity market.
