- Applied Finance Select Fund Investor Class (AFVLX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of U.S. companies with market capitalizations of $3 billion or more at the time of purchase; these include common and preferred stocks, rights and warrants, and securities convertible into equity securities, as well as securities of other investment companies including exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The fund, managed by Applied Finance Advisors, LLC since its inception on February 1, 2017, employs a valuation-driven approach utilizing the Economic Margin methodology to identify undervalued large-cap value stocks across sectors such as technology, financial services, industrials, consumer defensive, and healthcare, with a portfolio typically comprising around 50 holdings, low turnover of approximately 7%, and an active share exceeding 80% relative to benchmarks like the Morningstar US Large-Mid Cap Value Index. As of mid-2025, total net assets stand at approximately $653 million for the Investor Class, with a net expense ratio of 1.00% following a contractual fee waiver through September 1, 2025, and top holdings including KLA Corp, Applied Materials Inc, Cisco Systems Inc, CBRE Group Inc Class A, and Verizon Communications Inc. Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, Applied Finance Advisors, LLC operates as part of The Applied Finance Group, an independent equity research and investment management firm founded in 1995 that serves institutional investors and wealth managers nationwide through systematic fundamental analysis of global equities. Recent developments include sustained portfolio growth to over $670 million in assets under management as of early 2025, a Morningstar Bronze Medalist Rating reflecting strong process and people pillars, and ongoing expense reductions via the fee waiver agreement extended through September 2025 to enhance shareholder value amid competitive large value fund dynamics. The fund maintains a focus on U.S. large- and mid-cap value stocks with no foreign equity exposure, targeting investors seeking risk-adjusted outperformance in domestic equity markets.
