About VEVFX
The Explorer Value Fund invests in small and mid-sized U.S. companies that, in the advisor’s judgment, are mispriced by the market. The fund’s portfolio management teams each have over 20 years of experience investing in the value market. Because of its focus on small and mid-sized companies, the fund tends to be more volatile than stock funds that focus on larger companies. This fund may be considered complementary to an already diversified portfolio with a long-term time horizon.
