ACMYX Investment Objective and Strategy
American Beacon Mid-Cap Value Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by American Beacon Funds.
Investment objective
The Fund's investment objective is long-term capital appreciation and current income.
Principal investment strategy
"Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund's net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) are invested in equity securities of middle market capitalization U.S. companies. These companies have market capitalizations within the market capitalization range of the companies in the Russell Midcap Index at the time of investment. As of December 31, 2017 the market capitalizations of the companies in the Russell Midcap Index ranged from $1.1 billion to $37 billion. The Fund's investments may include common stocks, real estate investment trusts (""REITs""), American Depositary Receipts (""ADRs"") and U.S. dollar-denominated foreign stocks traded on U.S. exchanges (collectively referred to as ""stocks""). The Manager allocates the assets of the Fund among different sub-advisors.
The Manager believes that this strategy may help the Fund outperform other investment styles over the longer term while reducing volatility and downside risk. In general, the sub-advisors select stocks that, in their opinion, have most or all of the following characteristics (relative to the Russell Midcap Index): above-average earnings growth potential, below-average price to earnings ratio, and below-average price to book value ratio. Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss, LLC (""Barrow""), one of the Fund's sub-advisors, invests in medium-sized companies with low price to earnings and price to book value ratios and high dividend yields in relation to the Russell Midcap Index. Through extensive research and meetings with company management teams, Barrow seeks to identify companies that not only possess these three characteristics, but that also exhibit high or improving profitability translating into earnings growth above that of the overall Russell Midcap Index.
Barrow's portfolio will generally consist of 40 to 50 stocks. Pzena Investment Management, LLC (""Pzena""), another one of the Fund's sub-advisors, invests in medium-sized companies and intends to maintain a concentrated portfolio of 35 to 40 stocks selected from the most undervalued or ""deep"" value portion of its investment universe. Pzena looks for companies within that universe that sell for a low price relative to normal earnings (with ""normal earnings"" defined as a 5 year estimate of what the company should earn in a normal environment based on research of the company's history and the history of its industry). WEDGE Capital Management, L.L.P. (""WEDGE""), another one of the Fund's sub-advisors, is primarily focused on identifying unrecognized value among high quality, market-leading companies, with a defendable competitive advantage, and market capitalization between $1 billion and $20 billion.
Focusing on companies that meet initial value and financial quality parameters, research analysts employ comprehensive, qualitative and quantitative analysis, seeking stocks with unrecognized value. Areas of emphasis include independent earnings forecasts and financial statement analysis, an evaluation of free cash flow generation and return on invested capital, absolute and relative valuations, industry analysis and competitive positioning, and management capabilities and incentives. Each of the Fund's sub-advisors determines the earnings growth prospects of companies based upon a combination of internal and external research using fundamental analysis and considering changing economic trends. The decision to sell a security is typically based on the belief that the company is no longer considered undervalued or shows deteriorating fundamentals, or that better investment opportunities exist in other stocks.
The Fund may invest cash balances in other investment companies, including money market funds, and may purchase and sell futures contracts to gain market exposure on cash balances or reduce market exposure in anticipation of liquidity needs. The Fund may lend its securities to broker-dealers and other institutions to earn additional income."
