About VILLX
The Villere Balanced Fund is a mutual fund designed to deliver long-term capital growth while emphasizing the preservation of capital and providing current income. This fund employs a balanced approach by investing in both equity and fixed-income securities. Its equity allocation primarily targets small- and mid-cap domestic companies through a concentrated portfolio, typically holding 20 to 30 of the firm's top investment ideas, selected via a bottom-up research process. The fixed-income portion, generally comprising 20% to 50% of the portfolio, consists mainly of investment-grade U.S. government and corporate bonds, with an emphasis on stability and income generation. The Villere Balanced Fund seeks growth at reasonable valuations and manages risk by diversifying across asset classes. Its disciplined, active management and selective investment strategy are intended for those seeking a blend of growth and income in a single fund, with a moderately aggressive risk profile. Since its inception in 1999, the fund has maintained a long-term investment horizon and relatively low turnover, reflecting its commitment to sustainable performance within the balanced fund space.
