| 2025 Q4 | Jan 29, 2026 | Hotchkis & Wiley Large Cap Fundamental Value | 4.5% | 17.1% | AIG, APA, C, CMCSA, CRM, CRWD, CVS, ERIC, FDX, FFIV, FISV, GM, NFLX, PLTR, UNH, WBD, WDAY, WPP | banks, energy, financials, healthcare, large cap, software, valuation, value | The portfolio trades at 13x forward earnings and less than 10x normal earnings, both in line with historical averages. The manager emphasizes attractive valuations outside the Magnificent 7, with the S&P 500 excluding these stocks trading at 18x forward P/E versus a 35-year average of 17.4x. The fund focuses on undervalued quality businesses with strong fundamentals. Software is the portfolio's largest industry exposure on both absolute and relative basis. The manager views prospects of select software companies as highly compelling, citing sticky customer bases, recurring revenues, and predictable businesses. Major purchases included Workday and Salesforce, which trade at discounts to their own history despite being higher quality businesses. The portfolio's banks returned 13% compared to 6% for the index in Q4, with an average weight of 12% that returned nearly 40% for the year. The manager took capital out of the group as valuations increased. Banks were the top contributing industry to relative performance both quarterly and annually. The portfolio remains overweight in healthcare, noting the sector's return is about half that of the rest of the market over the past decade. Healthcare's P/E ratio is less than 80% of the broad market's P/E, trading at a deeper discount only 8% of the time since 1990. The manager views this as an attractive opportunity given the quality of businesses and growth prospects. Energy exposure spans both exploration & production companies as well as oilfield services. While these businesses are not as structurally attractive as software or healthcare, energy remains among the most attractively valued areas of the portfolio. The group trades at less than 7x normal earnings and offers an expected free cash flow yield of 11%. | View |
