About VVPLX
The Vulcan Value Partners Fund Investor Class is a mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in publicly traded equities that are deemed both undervalued and possessing sustainable competitive advantages. While the fund has the ability to invest across market capitalizations, its strategy typically emphasizes companies with larger market caps, seeking businesses that demonstrate strong economics and robust management teams. The portfolio is concentrated, generally targeting around 20 core holdings spread across diverse industries; current holdings include major names in healthcare, technology, financial services, and industrials. The fund employs a disciplined value-oriented investment process, aiming to acquire securities trading at a discount to their intrinsic value. This approach incorporates rigorous fundamental analysis, with larger portfolio allocations dedicated to companies exhibiting the greatest disparity between market price and appraised value. The fund maintains relatively high active share and may invest a portion of assets internationally or in illiquid securities. Designed for investors seeking broad exposure to large-cap equities through a value lens, the Vulcan Value Partners Fund plays a significant role as a concentrated, actively managed option in the large blend category, benchmarking its performance against the Russell 1000 Value Index.
