About HWAIX
Hotchkis & Wiley Value Opportunities Fund Institutional Class is a mutual fund designed to seek capital appreciation by investing primarily in undervalued companies across the full market capitalization spectrum. The fund maintains a dynamic portfolio of 45 to 75 issuers, with core holdings in equity securities such as common and preferred stocks, as well as convertible securities. It also allocates opportunistically to special situations, which can include bonds, preferred stock, and merger arbitrage opportunities. The portfolio is constructed using a fundamental, bottom-up value investing approach, aiming to exploit market inefficiencies and target companies whose potential is not fully recognized by the broader market. While the fund’s main focus is on equities, its flexibility allows for investments in both investment-grade and high-yield fixed income securities. As a non-diversified fund, it can take more concentrated positions, and it is benchmarked against broad value indices. The fund plays a significant role for institutional investors seeking diversified exposure to value-oriented opportunities throughout U.S. and select foreign markets, with an emphasis on capitalizing on misunderstood or underappreciated businesses in various sectors.
