Our read on FLV

ETF.net Research

BAn active, roughly 50-stock take on large-cap value: American Century's managers hunt high-dividend U.S. companies with room to raise the payout, and charge less than the typical active value fund to do it.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks current income and long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in high-dividend U.S. companies with potential for dividend growth.

Why people hold it

  1. 01At 0.42%, it costs less than the typical active U.S. value fund, where the peer median sits at 0.55%. More of the dividend stream stays in the fund.
  2. 02Two jobs, one mandate: current income and long-term capital appreciation from high-dividend U.S. companies with dividend growth potential. Distributions run quarterly.
  3. 03About 50 holdings, filtered through valuation and quality screens, so cheap on its own doesn't earn a stock a spot.res.americancentury.com
  4. 04Sits in the upper tier of a crowded active U.S. value field, one of the stronger implementations among dozens of rivals.

Worth knowing

  1. 01Thinly traded next to the category's giants. Spreads can be wider, and bigger orders take more care at the point of execution.
  2. 02Systematic rivals cost less: AVLV and SEIV at 0.15%, DFLV at 0.21%. The gap is what you pay for a manager's judgment instead of a rules engine.
  3. 03It's active, measured against the Russell 1000 Value Index. A 50-stock portfolio can look quite different from that benchmark in either direction.americancentury.com
