For more information on the U.S. Value Equity strategy. The strategy’s benchmark is the Russell 1000 Value index.
The portfolio characteristics relate to a single account deemed by Brandes to be generally representative of the strategy as of date noted. Not every account will have these exact characteristics. The actual characteristics with respect to any particular account will vary based on a number of factors including but not limited to: (i) the size of the account; (ii) investment restrictions applicable to the account, if any; and (iii) market exigencies at the time of investment. Characteristics identified are calculated on a gross basis without the deduction of fees and expenses.
Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss.
The information provided is for informational purposes only and should not be considered a recommendation to purchase or sell any particular security. It should not be assumed that any security transactions, holdings, or sectors discussed were or will be profitable, or that the investment recommendations or decisions we make in the future will be profitable or will equal the investment performance discussed herein. The securities identified and described do not represent all the securities purchased, sold, or recommended for client accounts. Portfolio holdings are subject to change at any time. Strategies discussed are subject to change at any time by the investment manager in its discretion due to market conditions or opportunities. Market conditions may impact performance. Moreover, the current market volatility and uncertain regulatory environment may have a negative impact on future performance. The Brandes investment approach tends to result in portfolios that are materially different than their benchmarks with regard to characteristics such as risk, volatility, diversification, and concentration. Investments in U.S. issuers may be susceptible to economic, political, regulatory or other events or conditions affecting issuers within the United States. All investments carry a certain degree of risk including the possible loss of principal.
