ESLV aims for long-term capital appreciation by investing in large-cap US companies that exhibit value style characteristics. The actively managed fund uses a long-only investment approach and seeks to generate performance like its benchmark index of US companies with the highest value factor scores. The fund selects at least 75 companies using fundamental research that includes a values-based screening inspired by the Christian faith. Selection of undervalued securities is based on price-to-projected earnings while considering price-to-book, price-to-sales, price-to-cash flow, and dividend yield. The fund caps an industry or industry group by 25%, except when it represents 20% or more of the benchmark, allowing up to 35%. While actively managing the fund, the adviser monitors its holdings with full discretion to adjust the portfolio as necessary using research, quantitative modeling, and risk tools.
