Value Equity Strategy
To remain consistent in our investment style and protect capital by using the time-tested contrarian value approach. The performance target for the Value Equity portfolio is to exceed the Russell 3000® Value Index over a full market cycle.
The Value Equity strategy is based on a disciplined, low P/E approach to stock selection. We invest in companies with capitalizations typically above $1 billion that our research concludes to be undervalued and that have strong fundamentals and historic earnings
Led by Nelson Woodard, PhD, Portfolio Manager, the Value Equity team focuses on eliminating stocks with above-market valuations by comparing financial ratios such as the price-to-earnings, price-to-book and price-to-cash flow.
Through extensive bottom-up research and rigorous fundamental analysis, the team forms a portfolio that is well-diversified across 45-55 companies with the goal of achieving superior long-term performance results while managing volatility and risk.

- DVM is a division of Dreman Value Management, L.L.C. ("Dreman"), an independent investment management firm and registered advisor established on July 1, 1997. DVM manages a variety of assets, including equities and fixed income among others. For the period from 1991 through June 30, 1997, David Dreman was the Chief Investment Officer of Dreman's predecessor firm and was responsible for executing all investment management decisions. Performance returns for periods prior to July 1, 1997 is from accounts maintained by DVM's predecessor firm. Effective January 1, 2006, Dreman's wrap-fee SMA/UMA assets were re-defined as a separate division under the name Dreman Asset Management ("DAM"). Prior to January 1, 2006, total firm assets included assets managed by Dreman. Effective January 1, 2006, total firm assets include only the assets of DVM. Effective July 1, 2009, the methodology used to determine total composite assets, number of portfolios and percent of firm assets has changed. The new method of calculation is based on end of period assets whereas the previous method used beginning of next period assets. This change has been made due to an upgrade in the program used to calculated composite performance. This change effects time periods beginning July 1, 2009. Policies for valuing portfolios, calculating performance and preparing compliant presentations are available upon request.
- DVM's Value Equity Composite began November 2007. This Composite includes all of the Firm's accounts or portfolios that are managed by the Firm on a fully discretionary basis in an All Capitalization trading style (no account minimum), and without regard to tax sensitivity. Fully discretionary accounts include accounts that have investment restrictions, where the restriction accounts for less than 5% of the total portfolio value. Portfolios within the composite generally invest in securities with below market P/E ratios and market capitalizations greater than $1 billion.
- The Dreman Value Equity composite benchmark is the Russell 3000® Value Index. The Russell 3000® Value Index measures the performance of the broad value segment of U.S. equity value universe. It includes those Russell 3000 Index companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. The Russell 3000®Value Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive, unbiased, and stable barometer of the broad value market. The Index is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are included and that the represented companies continue to reflect value characteristics. The market index used herein has been included for purposes of comparison of an investment in the relevant strategy to an investment in a certain well-known, broad-based equity benchmark. The statistical data regarding such indices have been obtained from Factset and returns are calculated assuming all dividends and income are reinvested. The volatility of this index may be materially different from that of funds and accounts of DVM. This index is unmanaged, with no fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index; however, an individual can invest in exchange traded funds or other investment vehicles that attempt to track the performance of an unmanaged index.
- Valuations are computed and performance is reported in U.S. Dollars.
- Returns are presented gross and net of management fees and include the reinvestment of all dividends and income. Gross-of-fees performance returns are presented before management and custodial fees but after all trading expenses. Returns are presented net of non-reclaimable withholding taxes. Net-of-fees performance returns are calculated by deducting the highest annual fee of 0.88% which is applied on a monthly basis. Prior to July 1, 2009, the net-of-fees performance returns were calculated by deducting the highest annual fee which was applied on a quarterly basis. The annual fee schedule is as follows: 0.75% on the first $20,000,000, 0.70% on the next $30,000,000 and 0.65% on assets greater than $50,000,000. Please refer to the ADV Part II for all composite fee schedules. Actual investment advisory fees incurred by clients may vary.
- DVM's Value Equity Discretionary composite was incepted and created on November 30, 2007. Prior to July 1, 2010 the composite was known as the Dreman All Cap Value Composite. The firm maintains a complete list and description of all composites, which is available upon request.
