Overview

Investment Focus

Pursues long–term capital appreciation by dynamically investing in a high conviction portfolio across market caps

Distinguishing Characteristics

The Heartland Opportunistic Value Equity Strategy seeks long-term capital appreciation by dynamically investing in a high conviction portfolio (40-60 holdings) across market caps. The Strategy utilizes Heartland's 10 Principles of Value Investing™ for stock analysis along with a collection of rules and tools designed to construct the overall portfolio such that stock selection is the primary driver of relative performance. Leveraging Heartland's long history in small and mid-cap value research, the Strategy aims to combine the best ideas while opportunistically identifying large-cap stocks to create a portfolio intended to outperform the Russell 3000 Value Index over a market cycle. The narrow focus on specific catalysts that may unlock value adds discipline and consistency.
