About WPVLX
Weitz Multi Cap Equity Fund – Investor Class is a mutual fund designed to seek long-term capital appreciation by investing in a concentrated portfolio of equity securities across all market capitalizations. Managed by Weitz Investment Management since its inception in 1983, the fund employs a value-oriented investment approach, focusing on purchasing above-average to high-quality businesses when their market prices are considered undervalued relative to their intrinsic worth. The portfolio typically holds a select group of companies, resulting in a significant portion of assets concentrated in its top holdings. This strategy exposes the fund to certain risks, including market risk, value investing risk, and concentration risk, but also allows for targeted exposure to growth opportunities across various sectors such as financial services, technology, real estate, and industrials. While the fund can invest in both U.S. and non-U.S. securities and has flexibility to allocate across company sizes, its no-load share class and active management distinguish it within the large blend category. The Weitz Multi Cap Equity Fund plays a notable role for investors seeking diversified equity exposure with a disciplined value-driven process.
