- Plumb Equity Fund (PLBEX) is an actively managed open-end mutual fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in higher-quality equity securities of large-, mid-, and small-cap companies positioned to benefit from secular market changes and current conditions, typically purchased at discounts to intrinsic value. The fund normally allocates at least 80% of its assets, including borrowings for investment purposes, to common stocks and other equity securities across diverse sectors such as technology, financial services, healthcare, industrials, and consumer cyclicals; its portfolio as of late 2025 includes top holdings like NVIDIA Corp., Visa Inc., Intuitive Surgical Inc., Mastercard Inc., and cash equivalents, with approximately 84% in U.S. stocks, 7% in non-U.S. stocks, and the remainder in cash. Investor shares (PLBEX), institutional shares (PLIEX), and Class A shares (PLAEX) are offered with net expense ratios of 1.50%, 1.25%, and similar levels respectively, supported by contractual fee waivers through July 31, 2026; minimum initial investments stand at $2,500 for investor shares, with subsequent investments at $1,000 and IRA minimums at $100.
Established on May 24, 2007, and advised by Wisconsin Capital Management, an investment advisory firm founded in 1984, the fund is headquartered at 8020 Excelsior Drive, Suite 402, Madison, Wisconsin 53717, and distributed by Quasar Distributors, LLC.
In recent developments, Nathan Plumb joined as co-portfolio manager effective July 31, 2023, alongside lead manager Thomas Plumb; as of September 30, 2025, assets under management reached $30.8 million, reflecting ongoing operations amid a Morningstar 1-star overall rating (among 1,024 large growth funds) based on risk-adjusted returns, with the fund maintaining its flexible, benchmark-agnostic strategy blending S&P 500 and MSCI EAFE influences without reported acquisitions, partnerships, or structural changes in the last 1-2 years.
