Eventide Large Cap Value ETF (ESLV)

Overview

ESLV aims for long-term capital appreciation by investing in large-cap US companies that exhibit value style characteristics. The fund is actively managed, employing a long-only investment approach to seek performance akin to its benchmark index, which includes US companies that score highest on value factors. The portfolio comprises a minimum of 75 companies, selected through thorough fundamental research that integrates a values-based screening inspired by the principles of the Christian faith. This emphasis on values not only guides the selection process but also influences the assessment of undervalued securities based on their price-to-projected earnings, while also considering critical financial metrics such as price-to-book, price-to-sales, price-to-cash flow, and dividend yield. To manage concentration risk, the fund caps investment in any industry or industry group at 25%, unless the group constitutes 20% or more of the benchmark, in which case the cap is extended to 35%. The adviser continuously monitors the portfolio with full discretion to make necessary adjustments, leveraging research, quantitative modeling, and a variety of risk assessment tools.
