About DALVX
The Dunham Large Cap Value Fund Class A is a mutual fund that primarily targets large capitalization U.S. companies exhibiting value-oriented characteristics. Its investment approach focuses on acquiring stocks of established firms that are considered undervalued relative to their earnings, book value, or other financial metrics. The fund diversifies across major economic sectors, with a notable allocation to financial services, healthcare, energy, and industrials, including top holdings such as JPMorgan Chase & Co, Abbott Laboratories, and Exxon Mobil Corp. The strategy is designed to appeal to investors seeking exposure to mature companies with strong fundamentals, stable cash flows, and potentially attractive dividend yields. The fund’s portfolio typically consists of stocks within the top 70% of U.S. equity market capitalization, emphasizing those with lower valuations and slower growth profiles. As a large-value fund, it plays a significant role in providing diversification and potential downside mitigation within broader equity portfolios. However, the fund is noted for its higher-than-average fees, which may impact net returns relative to competitors in the same category.
