Investment objective
The Fund seeks current income and long-term growth of income,
Principal investment strategy
he Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes in equity securities of large capitalization companies. Effective on or about August 31, 2026, the Funds 80% investment policy will be revised to the following: Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of large capitalization companies that meet Hotchkis & Wiley Capital Management, LLCs (the Advisor) definition of value. The Advisor considers large cap companies to be those with market capitalizations like those found in the Russell 1000 Index over the prior twelve months. The market capitalization range of the Index changes constantly, but as of May 31, 2026, the range was from $894 million to $5,110 billion, although the Advisor will generally not purchase stock in a company with a market capitalization of less than $3 billion.
Market capitalization is measured at the time of initial purchase. The Fund also invests in stocks with high cash dividends or payout yields relative to the market. The Fund may invest in foreign (non-U.S.) securities. The Advisor believes value companies to be companies that are undervalued in the marketplace. The Advisor considers traditional and other measures of value, such as (1) whether the company is included in a third-party value benchmark; (2) whether the company falls below the relevant equity market index average for any value metric, such as price-to-earnings ratio; price-to-book value ratio; price-to-cash flow ratio; price-to-sales ratio; or enterprise value-to-EBITDA, among others; or (3) the Advisor determines, based on a reasonable, consistently applied investment process, that the company exhibits characteristics commonly associated with value investments, even if it does not satisfy one or more of the specific metrics described above.
In making this determination, the Advisor generally considers whether the companys market price appears to undervalue its intrinsic value, including due to factors such as temporary business or market dislocation, cyclical pressures, or the company being out of favor with investors. For example, the Advisor may determine that a company constitutes a value investment where its current market price is below the Advisors assessment of intrinsic value, as derived from a discounted cash flow analysis or comparable company valuation multiples; provided that such determination is supported by fundamental or valuation-based analysis and one or more valuation or financial indicators (which may include, among others, earnings, cash flow, asset values, or comparable company analysis), as applied within the Advisors investment process.
The Fund seeks to invest in companies whose future prospects are misunderstood or not fully recognized by the market. The Fund employs a fundamental value investing approach which seeks to exploit market inefficiencies created by irrational investor behavior, such as investment decisions driven by emotions, biases, or cognitive errors. To identify these investment opportunities, the Fund employs a disciplined, bottom-up investment process highlighted by rigorous, internally-generated fundamental research. As part of the Advisor's investment process, the investment team evaluates the general and industry-specific Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors that the Advisor believes to be the most financially material to a company's short-, medium-, and long-term enterprise value. The Advisor believes this evaluation contributes to its overall analysis of a companys value creation for shareholders and future financial performance.
With the exception of diversification guidelines, the Fund does not employ predetermined rules for sales; rather, the Fund evaluates each sell candidate based on the candidates specific risk and return characteristics which include: 1) relative valuation; 2) fundamental operating trends; 3) deterioration of fundamentals; and 4) portfolio diversification. Relative valuation involves selling an investment when a companys valuation metrics become high relative to comparable companies, the market, or its historical levels. Fundamental operating trends involves selling an investment when there is evidence of a decline in a companys underlying business performance or industry conditions. Deterioration of fundamentals involves selling an investment when a companys underlying business or industry fundamentals, such as revenue or earnings, weaken.
Portfolio diversification refers to selling holdings to maintain balance, manage risk, and optimize returns. The Fund's investments in foreign securities may be direct investments or in the form of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs). As of the date of this Prospectus, the top sector represented by the Funds underlying investments was financials. The Funds investments in various sectors may change over time.
