- Undiscovered Managers Behavioral Value Fund Class A (UBVAX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks of U.S. companies exhibiting value characteristics, particularly small-capitalization companies akin to those in the Russell 2000 Value Index; such investments include real estate investment trusts and stocks selected using behavioral finance principles to capitalize on market overreactions to negative information or underreactions to positive developments, with evidence of insider buying or share repurchases. The fund employs a contrarian approach, maintaining lower exposure to quality and momentum factors while overweighting yield through high-dividend or buyback stocks, alongside underweights in technology and energy sectors; its portfolio comprises approximately 93 equity holdings, with the top 10 accounting for 30% of assets, including names such as Healthpeak Properties Inc., KeyCorp, and Amcor PLC. Managed under J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. with sub-advisory from Fuller & Thaler Asset Management Inc., led by veteran portfolio manager David M. Potter with over 21 years of experience and an average team tenure of 14 years, the fund demonstrates low turnover at 35% and targets the small value segment with total assets exceeding $9 billion, an adjusted expense ratio of 1.24%, and a minimum initial investment of $1,000. Launched with an inception date of June 4, 2004 for the Class A shares—building on the underlying series formed December 28, 1998—the fund is domiciled in the United States and benchmarked against the Russell 2000 Value Index and Russell 3000 Index, operating exclusively within U.S. equity markets for institutional, retail, and high-net-worth investors seeking small-cap value exposure. The fund has maintained operational stability with no portfolio manager changes over the past five years, earning a Morningstar Silver Medalist rating supported by high People and Above Average Process and Parent Pillars; recent performance includes a trailing 12-month yield of 1.56% and an ex-dividend date of December 19, 2024, amid ongoing portfolio tilts toward financial services, consumer cyclical, and real estate sectors.
