About WVAIX

The Weitz Large Cap Equity Fund - Institutional Class is a mutual fund that primarily targets capital appreciation through investments in large-cap companies. This fund takes a concentrated, high-conviction approach, typically investing in a carefully selected portfolio of large-cap stocks, with at least 80% of assets allocated to equity securities of companies whose market capitalizations are at or above the median company in the Russell 1000 Index. The fund is managed with a value-driven philosophy, employing bottom-up, fundamental analysis to identify businesses that are trading below their intrinsic value. The management team adopts a private-buyer mindset, focusing on long-term business fundamentals rather than short-term market swings. The portfolio may also include select non-U.S. companies, broadening its sector and geographic exposure. With a focus on in-depth company research and a relatively concentrated number of holdings, the fund seeks to outperform traditional large-cap benchmarks while maintaining a clear, disciplined investment process. The Weitz Large Cap Equity Fund - Institutional Class serves institutional investors seeking exposure to large-cap equities through an actively managed, research-intensive strategy in the broader equity market.
