Jantz Morgan Large Cap Core

Jantz Morgan’s first fund is a large cap core portfolio, holding equally weighted positions in from 60 to 80 equities selected from the S&P 500.

Eugene Fama and Kenneth French as well as others, have demonstrated that on average, value investing outperforms growth investing. Jantz Morgan improves and redefines value investing as valuation investing with its large cap core portfolio by using quantitative models and processes to remove many of the human cognitive limitations and biases that can inhibit fund performance.

Management for total return rather than to a benchmark also increases the performance capabilities of the firm’s large cap core portfolio. Consequently for short periods the fund can under-perform the S&P 500. Nevertheless, the result is a potentially higher average level of return at a level of risk designed to be approximately that of an S&P 500 index fund.

To further improve return, Jantz Morgan’s large cap core portfolio is sector agnostic, allowing the fund to capture the full benefit of market mispricings without regard to industry sector. Risk is reduced through diversification by holding positions in a significant number of S&P 500 equities. The positions are equally weighted to remove market capitalization bias. Finally, gains are harvested based on monthly re-evaluations of the entire S&P 500.
