Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE?
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2024, the Fund gained 26.3% while the S&P 500 and S&P 500 Value Indexes returned 38.0% and 31.7%, respectively. The Fund invests all of its assets in Domestic Large-cap Value stocks. Below you will find a description of some of the factors that drove the performance of the benchmarks and the Fund.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
During the 12 months ended October 31, many investors reached the conclusion early on that the Federal Reserve was about to begin cutting interest rates meaningfully, and the Fed obliged them in September with a jumbo cut in the federal funds rate of 0.5% as large-cap investors continued to favor growthier names even within “value” universes. For an illustration of this phenomenon, please see the discussion under “PERFORMANCE” below.
POSITIONING
We are proud of our “traditional value” focus on finding businesses—as opposed to stocks—that have performed well (i.e., consistently earned satisfactory profits) over extended periods, and whose stock prices are cheap simply because others have overlooked them in favor of the latest “hot” issues. Thus, we are very comfortable with your portfolio’s potential for future outperformance (with less downside risk), as evidenced by its dividend yield of 3.2% versus S&P 500 and S&P Value respective yields of 1.3% and 2.2%.
The market’s periodic focus on varying investment styles in any given month or quarter does not change the solid fundamental foundation upon which the Fund’s portfolio was built. For example, the Fund’s holdings have relatively-stable earnings, modest debt levels and above-average dividend yields (with long histories of dividend payments), which we believe should benefit the Fund over the long term—particularly during the inevitable future recession, when defensive attributes become essential.

PERFORMANCE
For much of the last fiscal year, investors continued to pursue what has become known as the “risk on” trade, buying the “Magnificent 7” in a frenzy. For an illustration of this during the year, we can look at the quarter ended July 31, where we saw how the market’s narrow focus on a few mega-cap “growth” companies mostly continued and, generally, pulled “value” stocks with growthier features along with them. For example: the quarterly return for the S&P 500 Index was 10.1%, but the Magnificent 7 [Microsoft, Apple, Nvidia, Alphabet (Google), Amazon, Meta Platforms (Facebook) and Tesla] pushed the index up 5.1% with the other 493 stocks (also known as the “S&P 493”) only contributing the remaining 5.0%. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 Value subindex rose 7.2% while the lower price-to-earnings more value-leaning stocks were up
6.2% as a group. In this environment, the Fund’s portfolio gained 6.4% during the quarter. This narrow group of “growth” stocks drove the performance of the S&P 500 Index during year ended October 31, 2024.
