LSV Disciplined Value ETF (LSVD)

LSVD seeks long-term capital growth by investing in equity securities that are considered undervalued or out-of-favor based on the companys earnings, book value, revenues or cash flow. It may hold securities of any size but will typically hold companies with at least $1 billion in market cap. In constructing the portfolio, the fund uses a quantitative investment model wherein securities are ranked based on fundamental measures of value and indicators of near-term appreciation potential. The model selects securities to include from the higher-ranked stocks and selects stocks to sell from the decreased rankings. Additionally, the undervalued security must also show signs of recent improvement to be considered. In conservatively managing the fund, the adviser restricts the investment model in terms of industry and sector allocations and security weightings relative to the S&P 500 Index benchmark.
