- Smead Value Fund Class A (SVFAX) is an open-end mutual fund managed by Smead Capital Management, Inc., focusing on long-term capital appreciation through a concentrated, low-turnover value investment strategy in U.S. large-cap stocks that meet rigorous criteria including economic need, competitive advantages, profitability, high free cash flow generation, and undervaluation relative to intrinsic value; favored traits encompass shareholder-friendly management, strong balance sheets, and insider ownership. The fund offers multiple share classes including Investor (SMVLX), A (SVFAX), C (SVFCX), I1 (SVFFX), R1 (SVFDX), R2 (SVFKX), and Y (SVFYX), with Class A featuring a 5.75% front-end load, 1.22% gross expense ratio, and minimum initial investment of $3,000; it maintains a portfolio of approximately 25-30 holdings, predominantly U.S. equities (91.32%) across sectors such as consumer discretionary (24.52%), energy (23.92%), financials (19.33%), real estate (12.31%), and healthcare (11.91%), with top positions including Simon Property Group Inc., D.R. Horton Inc., American Express Co., Macerich Co., and Cenovus Energy Inc. Launched with Investor Class shares in January 2008 and Class A shares in January 2014, the fund is domiciled in the United States, available primarily to U.S. investors including individuals, advisors, family offices, and institutions, and headquartered at Smead Capital Management's offices in Phoenix, Arizona. In recent portfolio adjustments during the third quarter of 2025, the fund initiated new positions in UnitedHealth Group Inc. (286,744 shares, 1.99% of portfolio) and Crocs Inc. (552,392 shares, 1.08%), significantly increased stakes in Diamondback Energy Inc. (21.26% share growth) and Target Corp. (23.39% share growth), and fully exited three unnamed holdings while maintaining 29 stocks overall with leading weights in Simon Property Group, D.R. Horton, and Lennar Corp. These strategic moves reflect ongoing active management by Lead Portfolio Manager William Smead (since 2008) and Co-Portfolio Manager Cole Smead (since 2014), emphasizing conviction-based adjustments amid market conditions, with year-to-date returns through September 30, 2025, at 4.75% for Class A shares without load, underperforming the Russell 1000 Value Index but aligned with the firm's differentiated long-duration value discipline.
