Seeks long-term appreciation by investing in mid-cap, dividend paying companies
The Heartland Mid Cap Value Strategy is designed to provide mid cap value exposure by investing in two distinct baskets of stocks (40-60 holdings), value and deep value. This approach helps potentially mitigate the risk of underperformance resulting from the inherent cyclicality of each basket and may increase the likelihood of potential consistent outperformance relative to the Russell Midcap® Value Index. A collection of rules and tools are used to construct the overall portfolio such that stock selection is the primary driver of relative performance. The narrow focus on specific catalysts that may unlock value adds discipline and consistency.
Mid-sized companies are defined as companies with a market cap range consistent with the Russell Midcap® Value Index.
