In short

AVLV No data

VNSE Vaughan Nelson's value pickers run a tight, high-conviction book of US stocks, measured against the S&P 500. The fee: 0.80% net of a waiver through April 30, 2029 (gross 1.87%).

Stated mandate

AVLV No data

VNSE The fund uses a bottom-up process focused on value when constructing its portfolio.

Why people hold it

AVLV No data

  • VNSE Concentrated by design: a few dozen holdings, not hundreds, so every pick carries real weight in the result.natixis.comstockanalysis.com
  • Bottom-up value work, outsourced to specialists: Natixis hands the book to Vaughan Nelson, which hunts undervalued assets, earnings growth or dividend yield.natixis.com
  • The 1.87% gross fee is waived down to 0.80% under a contractual agreement running through April 30, 2029, a long runway for a small fund.
  • Trading since 2020, so there is a multi-year live record in the ETF wrapper rather than a fresh launch.sec.gov

Worth knowing

AVLV No data

  • VNSE At 0.80% net it sits above the category median, and index-style value peers such as AVLV (0.15%) and WTV (0.12%) charge a fraction of that.
  • Small asset base and light trading, which can mean wider spreads and more price impact on larger orders.sec.gov
  • Concentration cuts both ways: with only a few dozen positions, one holding's bad stretch shows up more than it would in a broad value portfolio.stockanalysis.com
