About OFVIX
O'Shaughnessy Market Leaders Value Fund Class I is a mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital appreciation and current income. It primarily invests in a diversified portfolio of common stocks and equity securities from companies of all sizes, with a methodology centered around a quantitative, factor-based approach. The fund emphasizes selecting market-leading companies that exhibit strong financial strength, attractive valuations, robust earnings growth, and high 'shareholder yield'—a measure combining dividend yield and share buybacks. Portfolio construction is guided by a bottom-up process, leveraging historical data and systematic factor analysis to identify securities that meet stringent quality and valuation criteria.
The fund generally maintains broad sector and industry exposure, but may tilt towards sectors offering the most compelling opportunities as determined by its quantitative screening. Key holdings often span industries such as industrials, consumer defensive, energy, and technology. Notably, its cost structure is competitive, positioning it among the least expensive funds within the large value category. The fund plays a significant role in the market by providing investors access to a disciplined value strategy with a focus on quality and capital return, catering primarily to institutional and high-net-worth investors seeking consistent, rule-based equity exposure.
