- TETON Westwood Equity Fund (Class AAA; Ticker: WESWX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation through investment in a portfolio of 40-60 common stocks of well-seasoned large capitalization companies reporting positive earnings surprises and trading below Westwood's proprietary growth rate estimates; it maintains volatility controls by generally acquiring stocks with betas less than the S&P 500 Index; the fund allocates primarily to U.S. equities (97.65% of assets), with top sectors including financial services, technology, industrials, healthcare, and consumer defensive, and leading holdings such as UnitedHealth Group Inc., Microsoft Corp., JPMorgan Chase & Co., Johnson & Johnson, and Union Pacific Corp. The fund, launched on January 2, 1987, is managed by a team including Matthew Lockridge (since April 2013), Lauren Hill (since August 2020), and Michael Wall (since March 2022), with day-to-day oversight provided jointly by portfolio managers; it is sub-advised by Westwood Management Corporation, a subsidiary of Westwood Holdings Group, Inc., under Teton Advisors, LLC ("Teton LLC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Teton Advisors, Inc., the fund's adviser headquartered in Greenwich, Connecticut. Available for sale in the United States with a minimum initial investment of $1,000 ($250 for IRAs), the fund has total net assets of approximately $41.19 million and a net expense ratio of 1.59%. In May 2025, Teton Advisors entered a strategic partnership with GAMCO Investors, Inc. ("Gabelli") involving the transfer of Keeley-Teton Advisors, LLC's investment management business, which includes four mutual funds and approximately $1.0 billion in assets under management across Keeley-branded funds and separately managed accounts previously associated with the TETON Westwood family; this followed Teton's earlier 2021 transfer of the TETON Westwood SmallCap Equity Fund management agreement to Keeley-Teton and ongoing annual renewals of sub-advisory contracts with Westwood Management (next due in March and October 2026). The fund operates within the large value category, targeting institutional and individual investors seeking prudent risk-adjusted growth in U.S. equities.
