Voya Large Cap Value SMA

The Large Cap Value strategy seeks to outperform its benchmark over a full market cycle via an actively managed approach relying on fundamental research to capture the benefits of high excess capital yield and sustainable dividends.

Investment Philosophy

We believe that successful value investing is best achieved by focusing on companies with high excess capital yield combined with a disciplined risk management overlay to build a portfolio with returns driven primarily by stock selection.

Our key beliefs:

• Focusing on excess capital yield is key to identifying high quality companies
• Active risk driven by stock selection is necessary to deliver superior performance
• Risk management at the portfolio level is necessary to understand drivers of risk and return

Investment Process

Our disciplined, bottom-up investment process focuses on high-conviction stock selection. The process begins by identifying companies with strong capital returns prospects through the triangulation of excess capital yield, relative valuation and qualitative insights from our well-tenured analysts. Excess capital yield is a dynamic measure that isolates the "dry powder" available to management to facilitate value creation. Our sector specific analysts focus on the decomposition of excess capital yield and relative multiple deviation in conjunction with our proprietary multi-factor sector models. This allows our analysts to concentrate their efforts on the highest ranked stocks within their respective sectors while finding their highest conviction ideas through in-depth fundamental research and analysis. Portfolio construction is based on the attractiveness each stock, analyst/portfolio manager conviction, and active weights impact on relative risk exposure and relative factor exposures. Gross yield of the portfolio will always be at or above the yield of the Russell 1000 Value Index.
