Vaughan Nelson Investment Management

Specializes in mid-cap, all-cap, and small-cap equity strategies.

Vaughan Nelson manages high-conviction, high active share portfolios – all of which follow the same value-oriented investment approach and belief that temporary inefficiencies and time arbitrage create long-term opportunities. The firm manages equity strategies across market capitalizations and domestic fixed income – offered in a variety of investment types, including mutual funds, ETFs, separately managed accounts, and collective trusts.

“We believe investing is about offsetting future obligations, not just having market exposure.”

Approach

Focus on targeted return.

Seek investments which the team believes have the ability to generate a double-digit return over three years.

Trading time for value.

A longer time horizon allows the team to exploit short-term volatility and poor price discovery.

Investment process

Undervalued earnings growth

Future redeployment of capital is not reflected in current valuation.

Undervalued asset

Asset price at a significant discount. Identified catalyst to close valuation gap.

Undervalued dividend yield

High secure dividend yield, typically 10% or higher.

Risk management

The investment team focuses beyond sector and factor exposure to gain a view of a portfolio’s positioning and biases. Their factor-based risk analysis is used when constructing portfolios to better understand what active positions are in those selections and any unintentional exposures that may come through when constructing a bottom-up portfolio.
