The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.
The fund invests in U.S. small-cap stocks selected for higher profitability and value characteristics, as measured by adjusted cash-from-operations-to-book-value and adjusted book-to-price ratios; holdings are weighted by market capitalization and then adjusted based on these metrics and other factors including liquidity and past performance. Because security selection depends on estimated company financials and market data, portfolio composition will diverge from the Russell 2000 Value Index benchmark.

How it has done
AVUVX share class · total returns with dividends reinvested
Volatility over the last 12 months: 12.89%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.
Jul 2026 and Aug 2026 have been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so they are not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
The 2 share classes hold the same portfolio
| Share class | Expense ratio | 1 year | 3 years | 5 years | Worst fall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.25% | +39.51% | +69.43% | +79.65% | -20.86% | |
| 0.00% | +39.82% | +70.64% | +81.82% | -20.77% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 2.17pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 0.43pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
