Investment Overview

The ClearBridge Value Portfolios focus on large-, medium- and small-company stocks.

Investment Objective

The strategy seeks: long-term capital growth. Current income is a secondary consideration.

Investment Philosophy

What we believe:

The stock market is a complex adaptive system

  • It dynamically aggregates the views of participants, providing assessments of investment value
  • As such, markets broadly adjust quickly to reflect new information, making it challenging for information-driven investment strategies to earn excess returns

Inefficiencies occur in markets

  • Inefficiencies occur, particularly when diversity of thought breaks down (e.g., investors panic or get greedy all at once), as well as when the time horizon extends beyond the market’s often myopic frame

To generate excess returns consistently, we must find and exploit these inefficiencies

  • We do this through an explicit analysis of market expectations, compared with the expectations we have developed through our review of the company’s economic returns, capital allocation and competitive strategy
Portfolio Positioning
  • Designed for investors seeking a value portfolio, with the ability to invest in all market capitalizations
  • Offers a long-term buy-and-hold strategy, which may reduce portfolio turnover
Key Differentiators

Process

  • Repeatable, proprietary process designed to form explicit variant perceptions relative to expectations embedded in the stock price.

Team

  • Robust, frequent communication to surface diverse perspectives and to improve the questions we ask and the assumptions we make.

Portfolio Construction

  • Diversification across industries, economic drivers and macroeconomic and quantitative factors to build a resilient portfolio that maximizes risk-adjusted returns and is able to outperform in a variety of market conditions.

Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against a loss. Market, security and/or other investment considerations may result in higher turnover from time to time. Also, all capitalization ranges will not necessarily be represented in an individual account. There is no guarantee that the Portfolio's objectives will be met.

Investment Process

Investment Process

Step 1- Discovery: Diversity Breakdowns and Embedded Expectations

Look for diversity breakdowns:

  • High-level industry trends and competitive strategy
  • Quantitative screens covering multiple sources of return and risk

Embedded expectations for growth, returns and investment needs

Step 2 - Valuation: Probabilistic Analysis of Business Value and Variant Perception

Valuation:

  • Multiple analytical tools to understand drivers of business value

Probabilistic Approach:

  • Build scenario analysis and simulations to explore business value under different assumptions

Variant Perception:

  • Develop an explicit narrative of how investment case differs from embedded expectations

Systematic Updating:

  • Actively recalibrate model and probabilities based on new information

Step 3 - Portfolio Construction: Balance of Risk and Return

  • Bottom-up weighting decisions to maximize risk-adjusted potential return across industries, economic drivers of returns, as well as macroeconomic and quantitative factor exposures relative to strategy’s benchmark
  • Robust team discussions help avoid individual behavioral biases: overconfidence, anchoring, loss aversion, framing effects, confirmation bias

The investment process may change over time. The characteristics set forth above are intended as a general illustration of some of the criteria the strategy team considers in selecting securities for client portfolios. There is no guarantee investment objectives will be achieved.
