US Large Cap Value Select

US Large Cap Value Select is a concentrated portfolio consisting of 20 to 30 holdings4. Its disciplined process and highly active trading approach has consistently delivered attractive performance since 20145.

The team utilizes a balanced approach to diversification and follows a structured sell discipline, avoiding averaging down on losing positions once a target holding is established.

Daniel introduces the strategy, outlines River Road’s Absolute Value® philosophy and offers insights into their investment approach on this 10-year-old, $959m strategy1.
