About VNVNX
The Natixis Vaughan Nelson Mid Cap Fund Class N is a U.S.-based mutual fund focused on mid-cap equities. Its primary objective is long-term capital appreciation, achieved by investing at least 80% of its net assets in companies with market capitalizations that align with those found in the Russell Midcap Value Index. The fund utilizes a research-intensive strategy, seeking undervalued companies through detailed analysis of financials, balance sheets, and cash flow projections. It diversifies across three value categories: undervalued growth, undervalued assets, and undervalued dividend payers, aiming to capitalize on market inefficiencies and uncover opportunities trading below their intrinsic value. With a portfolio typically comprising 50-65 holdings, it maintains a significant presence across sectors such as technology, industrials, real estate, and consumer cyclicals. The fund is structured for institutional investors, requiring a high minimum initial investment, and features a moderate expense ratio. It plays a key role in offering diversified mid-cap exposure and value-oriented active management within the broader U.S. equity market.
