About SVFAX
Smead Value Fund Class A is an actively managed mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in large-cap U.S. equities. The fund employs a value investing approach, seeking out companies that the management believes are undervalued based on fundamental analysis and are positioned for improved future valuations. Typically, the portfolio is concentrated, holding approximately 25–30 stocks at any given time, emphasizing a disciplined, low-turnover strategy that identifies "wonderful companies" for potential long-term growth. Key industry exposures include real estate, healthcare, consumer cyclical, and financial services, with significant allocations to companies such as Simon Property Group, Amgen, D.R. Horton, American Express, and Merck. Smead Value Fund Class A is distinguished by its non-diversified structure and a relatively high allocation to its top holdings, demonstrating the managers' conviction in selected positions. The fund is managed by Smead Capital Management and is benchmarked against indices like the S&P 500 and Russell 1000, serving investors who seek exposure to U.S. large-cap value stocks through a concentrated, research-driven portfolio.
