- LSV U.S. Managed Volatility Fund (LVAMX) is an investor share class of a U.S. equity mutual fund that applies a proprietary quantitative model to construct a broadly diversified portfolio of primarily large- and mid-cap U.S. listed equities; the fund emphasizes deep value characteristics relative to the S&P 500 benchmark, including low price-to-earnings, low price-to-cash flow, and high dividend yield, while seeking to manage volatility by selecting stocks with expected total returns that fluctuate less than the broader equity market. Launched on June 25, 2014, with assets under management of approximately $24 million as of September 30, 2025, the fund maintains a minimum of 75 holdings typically drawn from companies with market capitalizations of $100 million and greater; it is complemented by an institutional share class (LSVMX) featuring a lower net expense ratio of 0.55% compared to LVAMX's 0.80%. The fund targets institutional and retail investors seeking risk-controlled value exposure in the U.S. equity market. Managed by LSV Asset Management, a quantitative value equity specialist founded in 1994 and headquartered at 155 North Wacker Drive in Chicago, Illinois, the fund operates within LSV's broader suite of U.S. and global value strategies serving approximately 350 institutional clients worldwide with $102 billion in assets as of September 30, 2025. LSV Asset Management, named after founders Josef Lakonishok, Andrei Shleifer, and Robert Vishny, leverages over 30 years of behavioral finance research to drive its disciplined, bottom-up investment process, which avoids market timing and maintains low cash levels below 2% while enforcing strict sector, industry, and position limits for diversification. The firm's strategies, including this fund, exhibit portfolio turnover of around 25% and support optional socially responsible investing screens. Recent developments at LSV Asset Management include the reopening of U.S. Mid-Cap Value and SMID Cap Value strategies in recent years after long-term closures, alongside the launch of a new U.S. Small Cap Value mutual fund for limited capacity, reflecting expanded capacity in core value equity offerings. In October 2025, Ralph S.J. Koijen, Ph.D., joined as a full-time investment team member following his prior role as an academic advisor since 2024, bolstering the firm's quantitative research capabilities rooted in machine learning applications. As of early 2025, LSV manages the fund amid stable operations, with no reported acquisitions, funding rounds, or major reorganizations specific to the LVAMX fund or broader firm within the last 1-2 years.
