Our read on LCF
FFocused is literal here: 25 to 45 US large caps, each needing a discount to Fort Washington's intrinsic-value estimate plus a real moat. A stock-picker's portfolio in a corner of the market ruled by cheap quant value funds.
The Fund seeks capital appreciation through an actively managed portfolio of U.S. companies selected for attractive intrinsic value and durable competitive advantages.
Why people hold it
- The prospectus caps the roster at 25 to 45 companies and the fund is non-diversified, so a high-conviction name actually moves the needle instead of getting diluted.sec.gov
- Two filters, not one: a stock has to trade below the sub-adviser's estimate of intrinsic value and hold a barrier to entry such as scale, cost advantage or customer loyalty.sec.gov
- Run since the 2022 launch by Fort Washington, the investment arm of parent Western & Southern. Positions are sold as they reach the sub-adviser's intrinsic-value estimate.sec.govsec.gov
- It runs true to the label: at least 80% of assets in US-listed large caps, with a $5 billion minimum market cap at purchase and no drift outside the mandate.sec.gov
Worth knowing
- Cost is the trade-off. The 1.29% sticker fee sits well above the large-cap value median, and index-based peers like AVLV (0.15%) and DFLV (0.21%) charge a sliver of that.
- What you actually pay leans on a contractual fee waiver with a set end date that has to be renewed, and the adviser can recoup waived fees for up to three years.sec.gov
- Small fund, light volume, so spreads can be wider than in the giant value ETFs. Concentration and permitted sector emphasis mean single stocks land harder.sec.gov
