- Undiscovered Managers Behavioral Value Fund Class R2 (UBVRX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks of U.S. small- and mid-cap companies exhibiting value characteristics, including those with significant insider buying, stock repurchases, evidence of market overreaction to negative information, and attractive fundamentals; it also invests in real estate investment trusts (REITs) with market capitalizations similar to the Russell 2000 Value Index. The fund emphasizes behavioral finance principles to capitalize on market inefficiencies, maintaining a diversified portfolio concentrated in sectors such as financial services, consumer cyclical, industrials, real estate, and energy, with top holdings including KeyCorp, Citizens Financial Group, Old National Bancorp, Healthpeak Properties, and Devon Energy; as of late 2025, it holds approximately 95% in U.S. equities, 3% in cash equivalents, and minor non-U.S. stock exposure. J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. serves as the investment adviser, with Fuller & Thaler Asset Management Inc. acting as sub-adviser since inception, led by portfolio managers David Potter (since 2005) and Ryam Lee (since 2019); the fund, part of the Undiscovered Managers Funds series organized under Massachusetts law, operates within the small value category and is available to U.S. investors through various share classes. Launched on April 30, 2013, with roots tracing to 2004 when J.P. Morgan assumed advisory duties from Undiscovered Managers LLC, the fund is headquartered in New York at 270 Park Avenue, aligning with J.P. Morgan's global asset management operations. Recent developments include ongoing expense waivers by Fuller & Thaler through January 31, 2026, to cap net expense ratios at 1.55% for the R2 class, alongside strong risk-adjusted performance earning a Morningstar Silver Medalist rating, sustained capital gains distribution estimates for 2025, and portfolio adjustments reflecting market conditions without major acquisitions, partnerships, or strategic shifts reported in 2024-2025.
