"The Global Value Fund delivered strong 2025 outperformance by maintaining a cautious outlook on mega-cap valuations while opportunistically allocating capital to undervalued software leaders and defensive value sectors."
In Q4 and FY2025, the Hotchkis & Wiley Global Value Fund outperformed its benchmarks. The manager highlights a highly bifurcated market: while the broad MSCI World Index trades at an expensive 23x forward P/E due to mega-cap concentration, the remainder of the market is reasonably priced. To exploit this valuation gap, the fund is heavily overweight software (led by purchases of Workday and Salesforce) and non-US equities. Additionally, the fund shifted capital from cyclic financials into healthcare, consumer staples, and utilities to lock in more favorable risk/reward exposures.
