As part of our ongoing review of portfolio positioning, we are making a change within the Enhanced Balanced strategy. We will be replacing the Westwood Large Cap Value strategy with Dodge & Cox Large Cap Value.
At Westwood, we regularly evaluate all components of our asset allocation, both internal and external, to ensure we are delivering the best possible outcomes for our clients. While we continue to have conviction in our internal investment strategies, we also recognize the importance of manager diversification and being objective fiduciaries in our decision-making. As markets evolve, we believe Dodge & Cox’s investment philosophy and positioning better complement the other managers in our asset allocation.
The Dodge & Cox strategy has a long history of disciplined value investing and a consistent, team-based approach that complements our other holdings. This change reflects our commitment to (1) maintaining rigorous oversight of performance, (2) taking action when appropriate and (3) ensuring clients benefit from a mix of strong internal and external managers.
