Westwood LargeCap Value

The Westwood LargeCap Value strategy invests in approximately 40-60 companies with attractive valuations. The portfolio team seeks high quality companies with prospects for future profitability that are significantly stronger than what is reflected in the current stock price. Companies with ample free cash flow and low debt are preferred.

Portfolio risk is controlled by limiting the target weight of each holding, imposing maximum position limits, and limiting sector weightings. The beta of the portfolio is typically less than that of the market.

Buy discipline

Companies are closely monitored and factors considered in analyzing securities include:

Improving ROE (return on equity)
A declining debt/equity ratio
Positive cash flow
Positive earnings surprise without a corresponding increase in Wall Street earnings estimates

Sell discipline

The sell discipline is essential to controlling portfolio risk and includes:

Stock achieves final price objective
Fundamental change in company or industry that negatively impacts original investment thesis
