Category Description: Large Value
Large-value portfolios invest primarily in big U.S. companies
that are less expensive or growing more slowly than other
large-cap stocks. Stocks in the top 70% of the capitalization
of the U.S. equity market are defined as large cap. Value is
defined based on low valuations (low price ratios and high
dividend yields) and slow growth (low growth rates for
earnings, sales, book value, and cash flow).
