DHLCX Investment Objective and Strategy
Diamond Hill Large Cap Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Diamond Hill Funds.
Investment objective
The investment objective of the Diamond Hill Large Cap Fund is to provide long-term capital appreciation.
Principal investment strategy
The fund, under normal market conditions, invests at least 80% of its net assets in U.S. equity securities with large market capitalizations that Diamond Hill Capital Management, Inc. (the Adviser) believes are undervalued. Equity securities consist of common and preferred stocks. Large cap companies are defined as companies with market capitalizations at the time of purchase of $5 billion or greater, or in the range of those market capitalizations of companies included in the Russell 1000 Index at the time of purchase. The capitalization range of the Russell 1000 Index is between $914 million and $859.6 billion as of January 31, 2018. The size of the companies included in the Russell 1000 Index will change with market conditions. The Adviser focuses on estimating a companys value independent of its current stock price.
To estimate a companys value, the Adviser concentrates on the fundamental economic drivers of the business. The primary focus is on bottom-up analysis, which takes into consideration earnings, revenue growth, operating margins and other economic factors. The Adviser also considers the level of industry competition, regulatory factors, the threat of technological obsolescence, and a variety of other industry factors. If the Advisers estimate of a companys value differs sufficiently from the current market price, the company may be an attractive investment opportunity. In constructing a portfolio of securities, the Adviser is not constrained by the sector or industry weights in the benchmark. The Adviser relies on individual stock selection and discipline in the investment process to add value.
The highest portfolio security weights are assigned to companies where the Adviser has the highest level of conviction. Once a stock is selected, the Adviser continues to monitor the companys strategies, financial performance and competitive environment. The Adviser may sell a security as it reaches the Advisers estimate of the companys value; if it believes that the companys earnings, revenue growth, operating margin or other economic factors are deteriorating or if it identifies a stock that it believes offers a better investment opportunity.
