Equity Value
Capital Preservation · Moderate-Low risk
Broad selection of equities priced at a fair valuation as determined by cash flow, income statements analysis, and balance sheet strength. Designed to minimize market risk, this portfolio targets a low correlation to the S&P 500, as measured by Beta.
Equity Value
Value-added index computed from rebalance weights and daily prices. Dashed lines mark rebalances.
Philosophy
Price is what you pay, value is what you get. We hold businesses trading at material discounts to intrinsic value, with strong balance sheets that allow them to wait out market turbulence.
Quality companies trading below historical and peer multiples. Screens for free cash flow, low leverage, and shareholder yield.
How it's built
The repeatable process behind Equity Value.
- 01Universe screen
We start from a defined universe relevant to this strategy and filter for fundamental quality, balance sheet health, and liquidity.
- 02Fundamental scoring
Each candidate is scored on financial strength, competitive position, and exposure to financials, industrials, healthcare dynamics that drive this portfolio.
- 03Position sizing
Weights reflect conviction, valuation, and risk contribution — not market cap. Concentration is intentional where it earns its keep.
- 04Ongoing review
We re-underwrite each holding continuously and rebalance when the thesis, valuation, or risk profile materially changes.

What it looks like in practice
Three plausible paths from here. Real outcomes will sit somewhere along this distribution.
Sector tailwinds and individual catalysts compound over a multi-year window. Concentrated weights drive meaningful relative outperformance.
Quality screens and disciplined sizing deliver returns roughly in line with — to modestly above — the relevant benchmark over a full cycle.
Expect drawdowns consistent with this strategy's medium-low risk profile. The portfolio is built to survive and recover, not to avoid declines.
Is this you?
An honest fit check. We'd rather you pick the right strategy than the most exciting one.
- Worried about market valuations
- Wants downside protection with equity upside
- Long-term horizon (5+ years)
- Patient — value investing requires waiting
- You need access to this capital within the next 12–24 months
- You'd panic-sell during a 20%+ drawdown
- You're looking for guaranteed returns or principal protection
Historical context
Value investing has produced the longest-documented track record of outperformance in financial history, though performance comes in cycles. After the longest growth-led run in market history, the value spread is wider than at almost any prior point.
* Past performance does not guarantee future results. All investments carry risk of loss.
Common questions
- How is this portfolio different from an ETF?
- Unlike a passive ETF, Equity Value is actively managed against a specific objective (capital preservation). Position sizing reflects conviction, not market cap weighting.
- How often will my positions change?
- We rebalance opportunistically rather than on a fixed calendar. In a typical year you can expect modest turnover; in periods of dislocation, more.
- Can I customize the holdings?
- Core holdings follow the strategy, but we can accommodate restrictions (e.g. tax-lot preferences, ESG exclusions, single-name caps) on request.
- What happens in a market downturn?
- This portfolio carries medium-low risk and will participate in market declines. Our discipline is to re-underwrite, not to react — which historically produces better long-term outcomes.
