About SVXLX
Smead International Value Fund Investor Class is an open-end mutual fund focused on long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in large-capitalization companies outside the United States. The fund follows a disciplined value-oriented approach, seeking to identify non-U.S. companies with strong competitive advantages, a long history of profitability, robust free cash flow, and trading at prices below their intrinsic value. Managed by Smead Capital Management, the fund typically maintains a concentrated portfolio of 25-30 holdings, with a significant portion of assets in its top positions. It targets a broad range of sectors, including financial services, energy, consumer cyclical, and basic materials, while aiming to minimize portfolio turnover. The fund is benchmarked against indices such as the MSCI EAFE and MSCI ACWI ex-USA, reflecting its focus on developed international markets. Its strategy and management emphasize business quality and economic need, appealing to investors seeking global equity exposure through a value lens.
