Investment Approach

  • Quantitative
  • Deep Value Orientation
  • Well Diversified / Risk Controlled

The Europe Large Cap Value Strategy applies the LSV quantitative model to a universe of stocks to create and maintain a broadly diversified portfolio of primarily large and mid cap European listed equities. The portfolio will typically have deep value orientation relative to the portfolio benchmark, including low price to earnings, low price to cash flow, and high dividend yield relative to the portfolio benchmark.

LSV is a registered investment adviser and is a joint venture between its management team, current and retired employee partners and SEI Investments Company (“SEI”). SEI’s relationship is entirely as a venture capitalist, by virtue of the minority ownership of SEI Funds, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of SEI, in LSV.

LSV claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®) and has prepared the performance information for the LSV Europe Large Cap Value Composite in compliance with the GIPS standards. GIPS® is a registered trademark of CFA Institute. CFA Institute does not endorse or promote this organization, nor does it warrant the accuracy or quality of the content contained herein. LSV has been independently verified for the periods May 1, 1995 through December 31, 2023. The LSV Europe Large Cap Value Composite includes fully discretionary institutional accounts that invest in a diversified portfolio of large and mid-cap stocks issued by the European developed market countries with the long-term goal of outperforming a benchmark, such as the MSCI Europe Value Index. The MSCI Europe Value Index is a free, float-adjusted index which captures large and mid-cap securities exhibiting overall value style characteristics across European developed markets. Net-of-fee performance is based on fully discretionary accounts under management, including those accounts no longer with LSV, and was calculated using the highest model management fees applicable to portfolios within the composite, applied monthly as described in Part 2A of LSV’s Form ADV, which is available as indicated below. Fees may be higher for certain pooled vehicles and the composite may include accounts with performance-based fees. Non-fee paying accounts are not included in the composite. All performance results are net of commissions and transaction costs, and have been presented gross and net of management fees and include the reinvestment of all income. Actual fees may vary depending on, among other factors, the applicable fee schedule and portfolio size. Dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date as the information becomes available to LSV. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. When applicable, composite performance is presented net of foreign withholding taxes. The U.S. Dollar is the currency used to express performance. Performance results for the indices include reinvested dividends and are presented net of applicable foreign withholding taxes but, unlike the portfolio’s returns, do not reflect the payment of sales commissions or other expenses incurred in the purchase or sale of the securities included in the indices. Composite returns are compared against indexes for illustrative purposes only. Index returns are not examined. The comparison to the indexes is not intended to imply that an LSV portfolio is similar to any such index or that an LSV portfolio’s performance will meet or exceed that of any index. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Actual fees may vary depending on, among other factors, the applicable fee schedule and portfolio size.
