- EA Series Trust - Matrix Advisors Value ETF (MAVF) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that employs a value-oriented investment strategy focused on large capitalization U.S. equities; the fund invests primarily in both dividend-paying and non-dividend-paying common stocks of financially strong companies with market capitalizations generally exceeding $4 billion at the time of purchase, selected through Classic Valuation Analysis inspired by Benjamin Graham principles, incorporating metrics such as earnings growth, dividend growth, return on equity, book value, debt levels, and free cash flow relative to historical, current, and projected levels to estimate intrinsic value and identify undervalued securities across sectors. The fund maintains a diversified portfolio of 30-40 holdings, reconstitutes its investment universe annually, sells positions upon reaching intrinsic value or experiencing adverse fundamental changes, and benchmarks performance against the S&P 500 Index, with an expense ratio of 0.75%. EA Series Trust, organized as a Delaware statutory trust in 2013 and headquartered at 19 East Eagle Road, Havertown, Pennsylvania, serves as the issuer for multiple ETFs, including MAVF which was launched on February 24, 2025, under sub-advisory by Matrix Asset Advisors, Inc., a value-driven firm founded in 1986 that manages U.S. equities and fixed income for individuals, families, endowments, foundations, and retirement plans. In a recent major development, Matrix Asset Advisors transitioned its long-standing Matrix Advisors Value Fund (ticker: MAVFX), originally established around 1996, into the ETF structure as MAVF to offer investors active value exposure through an exchange-traded vehicle amid growing demand for actively managed ETFs, which now represent about 8% of U.S. ETF assets; as of December 16, 2025, the fund reported net assets of approximately $84 million, a NAV of $122.15, and top holdings including Alphabet Inc., Microsoft Corp., Meta Platforms Inc., and Amazon.com Inc. The fund targets U.S. large-cap value opportunities with no sector restrictions, allowing overweight or underweight positions as warranted by valuation criteria, and operates without reported recent acquisitions, partnerships, or funding rounds beyond the ETF conversion.
