- TSW Large Cap Value Fund Institutional Shares (TSWEX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks maximum long-term total return, consistent with reasonable risk to principal, through a diversified portfolio of common stocks primarily drawn from large capitalization value companies; it employs a bottom-up, business-focused investment approach emphasizing well-managed, financially sound companies with strong competitive positions and shares undervalued relative to intrinsic value; the strategy benchmarks against the Russell 1000 Value Index and features a net expense ratio of 0.75% for its institutional share class. Managed principally by Brett Hawkins since 2015 and Bryan Durand since 2019, with support from analyst Michael Creager, the fund targets sectors including healthcare, financial services, energy, and utilities, with top holdings such as Kraft Heinz Company, Dominion Energy Inc., and Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV Sponsored ADR as of October 2025.

TSW Large Cap Value Fund Institutional Shares operates as part of the Perpetual Americas Funds, advised by Perpetual Americas Funds Services and distributed by Perpetual Americas Funds Distributors, LLC. Thompson, Siegel & Walmsley LLC (TSW), the originating investment manager, provides the underlying large cap value strategy alongside complementary offerings including emerging markets equity, international equity, core plus bond, and balanced portfolios. TSW, founded in 1969 and headquartered at 6641 West Broad Street, Suite 600, in Richmond, Virginia, functions as an SEC-registered investment adviser delivering value-oriented strategies to institutional clients, corporations, pensions, endowments, and high-net-worth individuals, with operations focused on the United States but extending to global equities.
In recent years, TSW became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Perpetual Limited following Perpetual's 2022 acquisition of Pendal Group Limited, which had previously acquired TSW; this multi-boutique transaction, completed in August 2022, integrated TSW with other autonomous investment managers such as J O Hambro Capital Management and enhanced Perpetual's global scale to over AU$200 billion in assets under management while preserving TSW's investment independence and value philosophy. No significant new product launches, funding rounds, or operational reorganizations have been reported for TSW or the TSWEX fund in 2024 or 2025. The fund continues to emphasize in-house processes for research, portfolio construction, trading, compliance, and client reporting under TSW's disciplined framework.
