Heartland Select Value Fund

Investment objective & strategy

The Select Value Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in a concentrated portfolio of companies, which we believe are undervalued relative to their intrinsic value.  Read the Select Value Fund fact sheet.

Distinguishing characteristic

The distinguishing characteristic of this Fund is its ability to invest in companies of all sizes, usually greater than $500 million, providing it with the flexibility to generate consistent returns in a variety of market environments.

Reasons to invest

  • Designed to be a core holding for investors
  • Focuses on value equity opportunities, regardless of capitalization or market conditions
  • Offers a moderate risk profile
  • Uses consistency in team, approach and style to obtain results

Certain asset classes perform differently depending on the market cycle. While small- and mid-cap stocks have historically generated greater returns than large-cap stocks, they also tend to be more volatile. Because we choose among all value stocks in the marketplace, the Fund is diversified among market caps, which may help to control volatility and generate a more consistent return profile.

In addition to stocks of large companies, the Select Value Fund invests in small and mid-sized companies that are generally less liquid than large companies. Value-based investments are subject to the risk that the broad market may not recognize their intrinsic values. The Fund also invests in a smaller number of stocks (generally 40 to 60) than the average mutual fund. The performance of these holdings may increase the volatility of the Fund's returns.
