- LSV Small Cap Value Fund (LVAQX) is an open-end mutual fund managed by LSV Asset Management that seeks long-term growth of capital through a quantitative, deep value-oriented investment approach focused on small capitalization U.S. equities. The Fund applies LSV's proprietary quantitative model to a universe of primarily small cap U.S. listed stocks, constructing a broadly diversified, risk-controlled portfolio typically exhibiting low price-to-earnings ratios, low price-to-cash flow multiples, and high dividend yields relative to its Russell 2000 Value benchmark; it maintains a minimum of 75 holdings within a market capitalization range similar to the benchmark. Available in Investor (LVAQX, net expense ratio 1.08%) and Institutional (LSVQX, net expense ratio 0.83%) share classes, the Fund targets institutional and individual investors seeking exposure to the U.S. small value equity segment, with assets under management of approximately $631 million as of September 30, 2025. LSV Asset Management, the Fund's investment adviser, was founded in 1994 by Josef Lakonishok, Andrei Shleifer, and Robert W. Vishny and is headquartered at 155 North Wacker Drive in Chicago, Illinois. The firm specializes in quantitative value equity strategies for institutional investors worldwide, managing around $102 billion in assets across various U.S. and non-U.S. value-oriented portfolios as of September 30, 2025, including other mutual funds such as Value Equity Fund, Conservative Value Equity Fund, Global Value Fund, and Emerging Markets Equity Fund. In recent developments, LSV Asset Management hired Ralph S.J. Koijen, Ph.D., as a full-time investment team member effective October 2025, following his role as an Academic Advisor starting in 2024; Koijen, formerly of the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, specializes in machine learning applications for investments. The firm faced a high-profile lawsuit filed in July 2024 by four former executives alleging deprivation of over $100 million in equity upon their departure, with the case advancing to discovery after a June 2025 denial of LSV's motion to dismiss; LSV responded with a cease-and-desist letter. No major acquisitions, funding rounds, or strategic partnerships specific to the Small Cap Value Fund were reported in the last 1-2 years, though LSV continues to emphasize its core quantitative value discipline amid ongoing portfolio adjustments reflected in recent 13F filings.
