International Fundamental Stability & Value (INTL FSV)

  • INTL FSV begins with a starting universe of more than 1500 non-U.S. stocks, representing developed and emerging markets.  The FSV process eliminates those stocks with the worst through-cycle fundamental stability and highest debt levels, and then invests in the most attractively valued remaining 100 companies based on Distillate Capital’s normalized free cash flow methodology. The portfolio is weighted by free cash flow generation and is rebalanced quarterly.1
  • INTL FSV is designed chiefly to preserve capital in down markets, but also seeks to keep pace in rising ones.
